Fayette Historic State Park Offering Winter Nighttime Fun on Jan. 30

Jan. 14, 2010

Fayette Historic State Park will host its fourth annual "GO-Get Outdoors" winter activity event on Saturday, Jan. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The event includes old fashioned, kerosene lantern-lit, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking around the unique Bluff Trail, with hot chocolate and marshmallows around a crackling campfire. Visitors are asked to park in the plowed area near the contact station. From there, a friendly fire will mark the starting point.

"This is a great chance to 'GO-Get Outdoors' and experience Fayette in a whole new 'light,' whether you choose skis, snowshoes or your mukluks --- all are welcome," said DNR Park Supervisor Randy Brown. "The Bluff Trail will be lit, groomed and track-set for the traditional cross-country skier, as well as hard-packed for the walker or snowshoe user, and we've added a new half mile section that has not been lit in the past."

Make the experience special by renting the Furnace Hill Lodge for this event or any other winter weekend. This modern, heated lodge is fully furnished and sleeps 10. The lodge is available to rent Sunday through Thursday at $100 per night, or Friday and Saturday at $125 per night. To reserve the Lodge, contact the park at 906-644-2603.

Fayette Historic State Park is located at 13700 13.25 Lane in Garden in Delta County. For more information about this event, the park, accessibility, or persons needing accommodations to attend this event, contact the park supervisor at 906-644-2603 (TTY/TDD711 Michigan Relay Center for the hearing impaired) at least seven days prior to the event, or visit www.michigan.gov/fayette.

All motor vehicles entering a state park or recreation area must display a 2010 Motor Vehicle Permit, available for purchase at the entrance. Cost is $24 for a resident annual and $6 for a resident daily. A non-resident annual is $29 and a non-resident daily is $8.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, accessible use and enjoyment of the State's natural resources for current and future generations.
