Fundraising
Michigan’s Dragon at Hardy Dam has secured most of the funds needed to finish the trail. We thank all our generous donors and partners for making this project financially possible. To date, $2,927,002.83 in funding has been secured for the project. These funds are being utilized to complete a variety of project requirements, with trail construction being the top priority. There is still time to donate to the completion of the trial, please do so by clicking on the donate tab at the top of the webpage!
Volunteers
A project of this size cannot happen without dedicated volunteers. The West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance (WMMBA) has stepped up to support and coordinate trail volunteers. The WMMBA will be responsible for routine trail inspections and maintenance. WMMBA is developing a comprehensive volunteer program, matching experienced volunteers with developing volunteers to keep the trail in optimum condition. In addition, the WMMBA volunteers are highly skilled with trail maintenance and will assist Newaygo and Mecosta Counties with routine maintenance and repairs of the trail. The WMMBA is overseeing all volunteer patrols and maintenance on the trail.
How to get involved
