Looking for volunteers who could give us a day or even a few hours of labor to work on some items in the park! Some items we will be looking for help with:
- Assembling and varnishing 5 or 6 new picnic tables
- Setting and varnishing 3 or 4 new benches
- Sawing and cutting of foliage and trees
- Trimming along two-track and other places as needed
- Discuss stair work off large dam to west
Some of these projects will require strong people! Those that can come, please bring an assortment of tools – chainsaws, shovels, trimmers, tools like hammers, wrenches, drills, etc. The Township will buy pizza and pop for everyone at lunchtime! It would be great if we could get a head-count of who can help that day. Text or call Tracy Korthase at 231-730-5848.

NOTICE: Township Hall & Pavillion Rental Policy Update
As of August 2025, Montague Township will no longer rent out its hall to anyone not living in Montague Township. We will no longer accept “friends or family” signatures of those living in the township for those who want to rent, but live outside our township. We are making this change as a courtesy to our residents who pay taxes, which is why we charge so little. So, the renter MUST be a Montague Township resident.
This also applies to pavilion reservations at Montague Township Park, although anyone can use the parks and pavilions – just without reservations.
