Over fifty bicycle riders completed their trek from South Haven to Port Huron in the inaugural cross-peninsula ride along the Great Lake to Lake Trail. About 200 miles of that trail is complete, but many sections of the pathway still need to be connected. St. Clair County Director of Parks and Recreation Mark Brochu says one of those gaps is in St. Clair County. He says county parks and other area stakeholders have been working on a plan to complete the trail network. Brochu says the plan is to connect the Macomb Orchard Trail, which ends in Richmond, to St. Clair via Fred Moore Highway. From there, riders will be able to head north on the Bridge to Bay Trail to Port Huron. The first ride on the Great Lake to Lake Trail began last Friday along Lake Michigan in South Haven and ended Wednesday at Lighthouse Beach along Lake Huron.
