Funding for trail maintenance once again will come from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment, officials said.

Daily and seasonal fees generated $95,000 a year for maintenance on Kal-Haven Trail and the 14 mile Van Buren Trail between South Haven and Hartford, Mitchell said. Ninety percent of the money came from passes for the Kal-Haven Trail. The trail was used an estimated 151,000 times in 2010.
