The Boardman: A River Reborn
People in our community have an appreciation for the Boardman River as it meanders through our forests, fields and towns.

The removal of dams on the Boardman will allow it return to a more natural state as a free-flowing, cold-water river. It will truly be a river reborn.
The removal of the three Boardman River dams will be the largest dam removal project in Michigan's history, and the largest wetlands restoration in the Great Lakes Basin. more info »
