County of Isabella issued the following announcement on Oct. 16.
The Coldwater Lake Family Park Campground Improvement Project ribbon cutting ceremony was planned to be held earlier this year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was cancelled. The campground improvement project was completed in June 2020. The upgrades to the campground include the addition of 9 new pull-thru sites, 6 of which used to be pull-in sites, and the addition of 50AMP electric to 19 sites. These additions have been made possible through the support of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Recreation Passport Grant, which provided $150,000 in grant funds. Isabella County Parks matched $70,000 for a total project cost of $220,000. $20,000 of Isabella County Parks’ match came from remaining Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe 2% funds which was approved for Master Plan projects in 2011.
Along with these additions, the campground also received two new ADA benches and two new ADA recycling bins thanks to the Mount Pleasant Area Community Foundation Brewster Family Access to Recreation Fund, totaling $2,100. 70 new raised fire rings were also installed at the rest of the campsites that had in-ground fire pits. At a total project cost of $10,300, Isabella County Parks received a $5,150 grant from the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority RAP grant and Isabella County Parks paid the remaining balance of $5,150. We are excited to offer these new features to better accommodate all campers!
