The public is invited to a rare opportunity to tour the hydroelectric dam and powerhouse in Elk Rapids for one day only on Thursday, June 27th, from 10am to 6pm. Construction of this historical structure began in 1916 and power generation began in 1918. The facility has been owned by Antrim County since the 1960s, and the powerhouse has recently undergone a major interior rehabilitation project. Staff from Elk Rapids Hydroelectric, LLC, the Antrim County Department of Dams, and the Edward C. Grace Memorial Harbor of Elk Rapids will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the history and future of the powerhouse, and its relationship to the harbor in Elk Rapids. Join us to celebrate over 100years of renewable power generation in Elk Rapids!

Once again, Antrim County will be hosting Household Hazardous Waste collection days throughout the County. Thanks to the Department of Environmental Quality Scrap Tire Clean Up Grant, an additional date has been added to the event that will be specifically dedicated to scrap tire disposal.
The first one hundred (100) pounds of household hazardous wastes are free, but there is a $1.00 charge for every pound thereafter. All pesticides and herbicides are free through the Michigan Clean Sweep Program. All scrap tires are free (up to ten (10) tires per household) through the DEQ Scrap Tire Clean Up Grant.
Latex based paints will be accepted at a charge of $1 per gallon-sized container (a container of 1 gallon will be charge $1; a container of 5 gallons will be charged $5). Charges are based on the size of the container, not the amount of paint in the container. Disposal for containers smaller than 1 gallon will be free.
Fore more information on items that are accepted at these events, please contact the Antrim Conservation District at (231)533-8363, or head over to their website.
The Antrim Conservation District will be hosting weekly guided hikes every Tuesday at Cedar River Natural Area. For more information on the events, or for a Cedar River Natural Area Trail map, please contact the Antrim Conservation District at (231)533-8363.
