**IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR  Lakeshore property owners on Au Train Lake and the Au Train River!!**

The US Army Corps of Engineers will be conducting a survey of the Au Train Lake and River areas
(From Au Train Lake through to the Au Train River mouth at Lake Superior) in the Township. They expect to be in the field starting on November 1, 2026 —The purpose of the survey is to begin a study of what changes may occur due to alterations that did take place and what future actions by the State/EGLE at the Forest Lake Dam will take place (next Spring/Summer). This study will help mitigate any negative issues from the dam alterations, including the River flooding that has occurred in the past from sand and ice build up at the mouth —

Any waterfront property owners that need more information or has issues with the USACOE traversing their property, please call Thomas Balmes, Au Train Township Supervisor at (906)892-8279.

This is a good thing for our Township and is being funding solely through funds obtained by the USACOE.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please share this with your friends and neighbors.
