    Do you add water trails? I am the President of the Tip of the Thumb Heritage Water Trail and would like you to add our trail, if possible.

    P.O. Box 92
    Caseville, MI 48725
    It is a non-profit 501c3 volunteer trail in Huron & Tuscola Counties and we are now adding in Sanilac County. We currently have 34 access points and are adding another 9.

    Thank you for your consideration.
