HURLEY - The city of Hurley is seeking a 50% matching grant through the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program to acquire 30 acres of a former railroad corridor.

This land would become a 2.7-mile walking and biking trail connecting Hurley and Montreal, linking to the Iron Belle Trail. The property would support hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and nature appreciation. One-half mile would remain a motorized trail. The DNR proposes prohibiting hunting due to proximity to residences, schools, and limited hunting opportunities. The public is asked to submit comments by November 12, 2025.
