Hunters Point Preserve

There was news this fall about the piece of valuable and beautiful property pictured here, the west end of Copper Harbor (next door to the state marina), which has been successfully purchased to become part of Grant Township's Hunters Point Preserve. The Preserve now extends from the point, in the center of the harbor, all the way west around the end of the harbor, south across the highway, and on up the side of Brockway Mountain just west of town. The photo shows the ice forming onje evening on the shallows at the west end of the harbor the day before New Year's Eve. One of the trails out to the point follows this shoreline. I am a bit of a outdoors libertarian and am loath to sound like a preacher, but we must all work together to keep the Hunters Point park as beautiful and pristine as possible. It's getting lots more foot traffic as a result of all the publicity that came with the fund-raising for and purchase of the property to preserve it from development. But this has meant that the park has been getting some rough use at the hands and feet of some visitors. I encourage you to join together in doing our cooperative best to keep this place as beautiful as it has always been.
