Two new projects are underway to enhance Bayfield River Flats.
A canoe and kayak launch will be built along the shore, while erosion prevention efforts will be taken.
A fundraiser will be held on Aug. 27 to raise $20,000 for the canoe and kayak launch. The event will be held at Bayfield Town Hall from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Huron Tract Land Trust Conservatory describes erosion prevention efforts as using innovative and natural means to protect the riverbank.
Currently, the area is maintained by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, which they purchased in 2017 and donated to HTLTC. A pedestrian walkway was added to the river flats in 2024.
