FYI:

We will have a Chainsaw crew out at Yankee Springs near mile marker six today (Thursday, 6/27) from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. A large tree hung up (see picture) and the volunteers need time and space to complete the work safely. If possible, please avoid the area during this time.

There's a tree down about 8 miles in at Yankee. It knocked down the power lines as well.

Consumers Power is currently addressing the issue and expects to be completed by 6:30pm, Thursday.

Note the DNR has closed that section of the trail and will reopen it once the repairs are complete.
