Soggy Doggy
Here is your chance to bring your K-9 companion out to play at the beach. The William H. Haithco Recreation Area is usually off limits to pets, but for this one event, we are opening the gates to your pup. Come out and let your dog romp and play in the lake. The swimming beach will be closed for the season, so only dogs will be allowed in the water. In order to hold this event, we ask that you clean up after your pup while at the park. The event will take place at the William H. Haithco Recreation Area from 6:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. Donations accepted.

The 3 Trails in 3 Days Event is designed to encourage you to visit the Saginaw Valley, Pere Marquette and Bay County Rail Trail/River Walk all in one weekend. Event participants can ride, run, walk or skate for 15, 30, 60, or 100 miles or complete whatever combination of miles you would like on each of the 3 trail systems. Volunteers will be on the trail to validate the number of miles completed.
