MARQUETTE — The city of Marquette has closed the two-track leading to Morgan Falls from County Road 553 to motorized vehicles effective immediately, in which motorized vehicles are prohibited in this area from April 1 through Dec. 31 annually.

Motorized vehicles are not permitted off-road within city limits and the gates that will allow non-motorized traffic have been installed at that intersection in conjunction with the Semco Energy Gas Co. pipeline installation. For those wishing to access the falls can still do so through non-motorized means; parking for use of the entire trails system is available at the Noquemanon Trail Network trailhead. For those wishing to utilize ORV trails, they are encouraged to contact the Department of Natural Resources regarding the newly approved ORV trail system through the west end of the Heartwood property.
