![]() The one block section of River Road is the easiest detour around the flooded area and a new cross-walk has been painted on the road at the River Road / M22 intersection. A short section of the trail south of the causeway is flooded on and off (see purple segment on map below), depending on the water level.ĬURRENT ACTIONS: The Friends, with the help of Michigan DOT and the county Road Commission, have posted warning signs to motorists and trail users about the detour around the flooded trail. ![]() The boardwalk closest to Elberta and the paved section between the boardwalks are both significantly underwater, are impassable and are closed and blocked off. LOCATION: As the trail approaches the Frankfort/Elberta area from the east it crosses the Betsie River and follows the old railroad causeway into Elberta it then loops back toward Frankfort where it re-crosses the Betsie River.ĬONDITION: In that section, the trail is near M22 on one side and Betsie Bay on the other, and it utilizes two separate sections of boardwalk. Two Short Trail Sections will Continue to be Affected With large sections of the trail underwater with no way to know when the water will recede to even allow for a damage assessment, the future of that section of the trail is unclear. Record high water levels in Lake Michigan and the Betsie Bay continue to cause significant flooding to the Betsie Valley Trail in the Frankfort/Elberta area.
