Gwinn-Little Lake-Sawyer

Non-motorized Trail Project

Building Trail Together

Forsyth Forward along with our partners, Treado Engineering, Marquette County, Michigan DNR, Forsyth Township and the Forsyth Snowmobile and ATV Club are in the planning and engineering stages of developing a multi-use non-motorized trail system that links the communities of Gwinn, Little Lake and Sawyer.

In 2026, Forsyth Forward received a $100,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to develop Phase 1 of the trail project, connecting Little Lake to Gwinn Michigan. Phase 1 consists of all preliminary work associated with creating the route plan and easements. It also allows for the initial construction of at least 1 mile of completed aggregate trail, beginning from Little Lake to Gwinn.

Trail Crew Interest Form - A Little About You

We’re building more than a trail crew. We’re bringing together people who want to help create and care for this non-motorized trail system in Forsyth Township. Check any answers that fit - no experience is needed, and checking a box does not lock you into a job.
