Hersey River, MI

A dam and silt removal project has begun in the small west central Michigan town of Hersy about 7 mile west of Evart. The dam was build in 1858 and is in an "Unsafe" condition. The silt is contaminated with creasote from the old logging rail building days. This project should help in the clean up.
At one time the Michigan State Record Brown Trout was from this river!
