Clinton River Trail Mastodon



When MDOT and OCRC was working on the intersection of Adams Road and M-59, they made a discovery - mastodon bones.  There is a marker a bit south of the parking area on the trail.  The remains of the mastodon were moved to two places, one a nearby at Cranbrook.

Here are links for more information:

For information on the trail itself, since it has it's own website and Facebook, I won't duplicate information other than this trail comes highly recommended.
