SOUTHERN LINKS TRAILWAY is 10.2 miles of non-motorized trail connecting Columbiaville and Otter Lake. The first phase has been completed and the construction company will return to the township around the middle of April 2008 to finish this link. The culmination of this project has been realized by a group of people who have given hours and hours of time to this endeavor. The amount of paper work, required signatures and stress has been staggering although all will be worth it when we complete this asset in our community.  Local support is needed to maintain the trailway for everyone to enjoy.  Friends of the Southern Link Trailway is a 501c (3) organization, so your donation is tax deductible.  Their address is P.O. Box 18, Columbiaville, MI.  48421.  You may also visit the website at www.southernlinkstrailway.com.
