New Michigan Water Trails website helps paddlers get on the water

Last month, a new website was launched for Michigan kayakers, canoers and all other types of paddlers. The website, www.michiganwatertrails.org, was conceptualized several years ago by community planners and paddling enthusiasts who wanted to improve access to water trail information.

Michiganwatertrails.org contains many useful resources for paddlers, like digital maps, informational videos, shoreline photos, put-in and take-out locations, a trip planner and more.

“Interest and participation in paddlesports is growing, and Michigan is a world-class destination for kayakers, canoeists and paddleboarders,” said Whitney Waara, executive director of LIAA. “Michiganwatertrails.org will help to promote all the great paddling that can be done in Michigan, and we hope it will continue to grow in use and in depth of information we can provide.”

The Michigan Water Trails website was established thanks to a partnership between Land Information Access Association (LIAA), Michigan’s Coastal Zone Management Program, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Office of the Great Lakes, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

For more information about this new water trail resource, contact LIAA at 231-929-3696 or info@liaa.org. Or better yet–visit www.michiganwatertrails.org and check out the new website for yourself!
