Families can go on a turkey hunt, but all they need is a camera. The turkeys are located along the Fort Gratiot Trail.
The fourteen turkeys are art pieces that have been designed by community members like Independent Floor Covering, classrooms at Keewahdin Elementary, Thomas Edison Elementary, Port Huron Northern High School, and Fort Gratiot Parks Commission, among others.
Fort Gratiot Community Development Director Sharon Wilton said that the idea for the Turkey Trail came from the Parks Commissioners who thought it was important to get residents out on the trails.
Wilton said, “Their goal is to provide recreational activities periodically to encourage residents to be in the outdoors.”
To access the Turkey Trail, the Keewahdin Road entrance across from Fort Gratiot Middle School is the best place to start. Trail users can vote for their favorite turkey by taking a picture and posting it on the Fort Gratiot Charter Township Facebook page.
The Fort Gratiot Trail is a large recreational area that is located off of Keewahdin Road and leads to ponds behind Walmart and Meijer.
The turkeys will be on display until November 30th.
