The "Finding of No Significant Impact", or FONSI, was signed by the National Park Service Midwest Regional Director on August 27, 2009.  This document, which is the decision-making document for the project, has selected Alternative B, the Preferred Alternative in the environmental assessment.  The planned trailway would begin at Manning Road on the Leelanau-Benzie County line and end at County Road 651 at the north end of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The trailway would be entirely on public lands in the National Lakeshore or on county road or state highway rights-of-way.
