Frinds of the White Pine Trail

The “Friends” is a volunteer group that was formed in 1997. We are a non-profit organization with a southern and northern chapter. The southern chapter meets on the second Wednesday of each month at various locations in the vicinity of the trail. The northern chapter meets periodically at selected locations near the trail.

OUR MISSION To enhance and fully develop the White Pine Trail.

OUR VISION The White Pine Trail State Park will provide a safe, accessible, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly recreation opportunity.

OUR GOAL To see the White Pine Trail State Park have a paved surface from Comstock Park to Cadillac.

We need you as a member: We need you to help us support trail development. We are volunteers; none of us are natural resource professionals, yet we have been very successful in influencing a magnificent recreational resource. Your input, ideas, thoughts, and dreams are needed to continue this tremendous volunteer effort. We work with state and local officials to fully develop the trail and enable trail users an excellent trail experience. The more members we have in the “Friends” group, the greater our impact.

TOGETHER WE CAN:

Assist the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in improving the White Pine Trail.
Educate White Pine Trail users about proper trail use.
Educate the Public about White Pine Trail history.
Promote White Pine Trail.
Improve and Maintain the White Pine Trail by securing funding.
Help the municipalities adjacent to White Pine Trail make the trail an asset to their communities.
