This event will highlight a range of brand-new amenities designed to enhance visitor experience while ensuring greater accessibility and sustainability, including:
• A new ADA-accessible walkway leading directly to the iconic Lake Michigan pier

This project was made possible by the collaborative efforts of community members, funders, public officials, and volunteers who share a deep love for Elberta’s natural beauty and public spaces. The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, and The Nature Conservancy all played a significant role in supporting this project.
