IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE:
Au Train Township and its Board Members are not associated in any way with a page on Facebook - Au Train Informed.
Also, The Au Train Township Board did not make the decision regarding the improvements or necessary repairs on the Bridge over the Au Train River near the intersection of State Hwy M28 and Au Train Forest Lake Road/Arbutus. The final decision, planning and cost were made solely by the Michigan Department of Transportation who own the bridge and manage the public beach area. The Au Train Township Board did, however, request a decrease of the speed from Scott Falls to the Au Train Beach Campground and plan to submit that request again.
