Notice: Two-Heart ORV trail open to riders
The Alger County Sportsmen's Off-Road Vehicle Association, with the help of the Trail Rider Enthusiasts Alliance of Marquette, has restored the east loop of the Two-Heart ORV trail system that was damaged during the Duck Lake fire. More than 40 signs and posts were installed and downed trees were cleared from along the 18-mile stretch of trail.
