The Bay City Times reports this morning on efforts to interconnect rail trails in Bay, Saginaw, Midland, Arenac and Gladwin counties. The current specific effort is a 6.2-mile path from Bay City to Zilwaukee on the left bank of the Saginaw River. This is intended to run along the H&E's tracks--no abandonment is proposed.
