Join us on Thursday, Aug. 3, at the main Michigan Tech trailhead (located off Sharon Avenue) for a trail dedication ceremony in honor and recognition of Jeffrey and Cynthia Littmann and family and their generous endowments supporting the Michigan Tech Trails, Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) and Mushing Club.

Following the dedication, OAP will host an afternoon of exploring the Tech Trails. Choose how you want to enjoy the trails by going on a wagon ride, self-guided hike or zip-lining adventure. In addition to refreshments and yard games, members of the Mushing Club and a few of the sled dogs will be at the trailhead for the afternoon.

The dedication ceremony will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. and the trail activities will follow from 2-4 p.m.
