Mid Michigan College's Harrison Campus sits on 560 acres of beautiful, wooded land. As a service to the community, the College and various community groups have developed trails and a disc golf course throughout the property for the public to enjoy.

Harrison Campus Trail System | Tree Removal by Clare County Road Commission

Continuing through 2024, the Clare County Road Commission will be clearing trees in the right-of-way on the northern boundary of the Harrison Campus along Monroe Road. The Road Commission will be removing trees, heavy equipment may be present, and stumps will remain until they are removed by the Road Commission in the future.

Be aware of your surroundings and practice safe use of the trail system, especially along the northern boundary throughout this project. Questions regarding this project may be directed to Joe Myers, Mid Michigan College Director of Facilities, by calling (989) 386-6656.
