MARQUETTE, MI-- Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was in Marquette Tuesday, touring the city’s brand-new Clark Lambros Beach Park.
Dedicated on Saturday, the park is a product of the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. Snyder spoke at the park to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the fund, which awards money for recreation projects or land purchases. Lambros Park is a collaboration between the City of Marquette, Michelle Butler—who sold the land for the park—the Lambros family, and the NRTF.
DNR Director Keith Creagh and Trust Fund Board Chair Brad Canale also attended Tuesday afternoon’s event.
The park includes picnic tables, barbecues, a paved parking lot, restroom facilities, mats to make the beach handicap accessible, and an accessible kayak launch on the Dead River.
