  • Hood, the school at the end of Wabash is actually the Beekman Center. From what I've seen their trails through the woods are for horseback riding. It's also the area HQ for the Special Olympics.

    I don't think that the Bear Lake area is open to the public. I think it's owned by MSU. I'm pretty sure that there is an entrance on the curve of Cavanaugh just north of Aurelius. I know that Hospice of Lansing backs up to the area as well.
  • Yeah, I meant Beekman. I didn't think about horseback riding though, that makes sense. Looking closer at the area, is Bear Lake the remnants of a gravel pit? I remember there being one in that area, but I haven't been back there in over 10 years.
  • Looking closer at the birds eye view, I'm pretty sure the lake is the bottom of a large shallow gravel pit. the edges of the lake look steep and rough. The hospice is near there and I remember that being inside the pit also.

    The Sonic is supposed to be open before the end of this year, according to this article:

  • I've only heard of Hawk Island being a gravel pit, but it's possible that Bear Lake could be one also.
  • I think this is a good idea. It would be nice to see the old armory saved and reused.

  • @hood: The article mentioned a new name for the PSD, but I couldn't find the actual new name anywhere. Any idea what it will be?
  • I also noticed that. I was wondering if they meant to include the new name in the article or if they didn't intend to mention it getting a new name. I don't have a clue what they would rename it.
