Notice to Eagle Harbor Township residents and taxpayers

Volunteer Day in Eagle Harbor-take two! The Park Committee will be out on the hiking/ski trails in Eagle Harbor to clear brush and limbs in anticipation of the coming winter season! We will meet at 11:00 am on Friday the 18th parking at the Ski-Trail Building past the cemetery. We will have some tools available (loppers, bow saws, etc.) but if you have a favorite tool please bring it along with appropriate footwear and water. See you then!





Volunteer Day in Eagle Harbor! The completion of the 6th Street trail was slated for Monday August 31st. We had a nice turnout, even for the predicted rain that eventually came down. A big thank you to Don Keith, Marlin Wingard, Lawrence McKenny, Barry Bogart, Kerrie Richert, Gina Nicholas, Nick Wilson, Tony Lizzadro, Bryce Holden, and Rich Probst for sweating it out before the big rains came down! The trail turned out very nice and will be a nice addition to the Township!

Also, thanks to the Keweenaw Community Foundation and the PHF Outdoor Wellness and Recreation grant that provided funds for the development of this trail. Stay tuned for more information on this and other projects in the area!

Well, we made it to Labor Day weekend! Summer just blew out of here today with winds into the 40 mph range! Power was out for the majority of the peninsula, and a taste of fall is in the air. With all the craziness this last 6 months, we are all hoping for some normalcy that arrives when the kids go back to school. Fortunately, Keweenaw County still has only 2 positive cases of COVID19. We have been keeping the offices and restrooms closed and it seems that everyone is practicing the distancing thing pretty well. I never thought that I would be a connoisseur of face masks, but I now know what I like in one! We hope you all are going to enjoy the Holiday Weekend, get out there and soak it up.....Winter is on its way!!!



Update from 06/10/2020

June 10th, 2020 is the date the Governor opens much of Region 8 up, and Executive Order 2020-115 goes into effect. Eagle Harbor Township is included in Region 8 of Michigan's Safe Start plan to re-engage Michigan's economy. Monday night, at our regular monthly meeting, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to rescind our prior request from seasonal residents to delay their return, and put out the following notice (link below) regarding our expectations concerning COVID-19 issues. We all know that we are always a month (or two, or three) behind in fashion, music, weather, and also in this case, COVID19. We had our first confirmed case in Keweenaw County yesterday, exactly three months from the first two cases in the State. With that, just a reminder to follow CDC guidelines, and think about your fellow neighbor. While you might not be too worried about the virus, your neighbor might be.

Request of Consideration - June 8th, 2020





As the Michigan's Governor updates our Stay at Home Orders and Executive Orders, we will look at allowing smaller groups, which can maintain physical distancing and abide by the guidelines established by the State to utilize Township properties on a case by case basis. Thank you for your understanding and respect during this unprecedented time. The Eagle Harbor Township Board of Trustees

********************************** COVID19 Preparedness and Response Plan Because the Township is an essential business, we are required to post a COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan. This much more detailed plan from our initial one, is recommended by our Township Association and is a requirement of the Governors Executive Order as she reopens the State. It is available to read at the Township Office as well, please send an email, or call to inspect.

EHT COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan - UPDATED 06/08/2020





Please read the above notice as it pertains to the most up to date guidelines for Eagle Harbor Township. Please share on social media and with friends and relatives. We know that we can't stop everyone from coming "home," but we can give them our "expectations" so that we are all on the same page. As cases are confirmed in Houghton County, it is just a matter of time before they are in the Keweenaw... -be safe

Weather on Brockway Mountain!!

We have been fortunate to have someone volunteer his time and resources to install a weather station at the summit of Brockway Mountain. Click either of the links below to view current data. Thanks to John Lenters for the setup and we look forward to more weather related information from him in the near future!

Due to technological difficulties - mainly the loss of 3G data compatibility - the weather station won't be up and running until Spring/Sumer 2020

*********************************** EHT Cross Country Ski Trails





Thank you to the Keweenaw Community Foundation. Through a Cross Country Ski Grant, Eagle Harbor Township was able to purchase a new pole saw for trimming the limbs back along the trail. We also purchased a 5 1/2 foot roller that we are able to use to pack early season snow and large snowfalls easier and more efficiently. Please think about supporting the Keweenaw Community Foundation - especially the Cross Country Ski Endowment if you enjoy skiing in the Keweenaw!
