Welcome to Challenge Chapter Trout Unlimited

Before 2011, Davis Rest, an access site on the Au Sable below Mio and Cummins Flats, was an erosion site with a pit toilet -- a well-built pit toilet. The Challenge Chapter submitted proposals to the U. S. Forest Service for steps, and started work in 2012. There's a picture below of the site before the project, and there are 14 pictures of how it looked in August, 2013. The project required two summers of work because a bank upstream from the steps started to collapse the year fter the staris were built. We went back again with the Forest Service's help and added some coconut fiber "logs" and some trees to protect the bank from being undermined by high water.
