Hiqhbank Campground Connector to the North Country National Scenic Hiking Trail (NCNST): Located in section 17, T1 6N R1 3W. Lilley Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. The proposed route will utilize National Forest land. The following project is included:
New trail would be constructed through National Forest land for 0.70 miles. Forest Service standards for non-motorized trails would be adhered to when constructing new trail.

The proposed project is partially located along an already existing trail tread. When complete the new trail would include a trail tread 18 to 24 inches wide, with an additional cleared width of 12 inches on both sides of the trail. Where necessary, the tread-way would be cleared of vegetation, trees, and stumps. No trees greater than 5 inches in diameter, at breast height will be removed. The trail would be signed and blazed. All construction would be done in accordance with Forest Service standards for non-motorized trails, the National Park Service Handbook for Trail Design, Construction, and Maintenance, and the North Country Trail Association's Trail Building and Maintenance Manual.
