Running through two preserves in both Orion and Oakland Counties, the Clinton River offers both a scenic landscape and an historical root to Millrace. Learn more about the Clinton River from the Oakland Land Conservancy.

Council Likes Location Plan for Elevator

Thursday, July 28, 2005
By Annette Kingsbury, Staff Writer

A new vision of the Clinton River Trail as a historical amenity was presented Monday night by the Rochester Avon Historical Society.

Society President Greg Doyle proposed that the city of Rochester allow the 1880 Rochester Elevator building to be moved to city-owned land adjacent to the trail just east of Main Street's south bridge. The elevator's present site on East University and Water Street is about to be redeveloped and if it is to be preserved, the Society must move it by the end of the year.

"We're really confident that with the help of the community we can accomplish this project," Doyle told Rochester City Council on Monday. ...more

Improvements to the Clinton River Trail

One of the attractions of Millrace is its proximity to the scenic trails of Paint Creek and the Clinton River.  A recent bridge renovation on the Clinton River Trail will give residents better access to local parks.

A contractor for Rochester Hills has started work on a pedestrian bridge linking two parts of the Clinton River Trail.

"I think this is absolutely huge, especially for the people who live in Troy and Auburn Hills, because it connects them right up with Stony Creek and it connects them up with Bloomer Park," said Todd Scott, executive director of the Waterford Township-based Michigan Mountain Bike Association. "It's a major piece of the puzzle."

The 14-foot-wide bridge will replace a former railroad trestle over the Clinton River north of Avon and east of Livernois behind Rochester College, said Paul G. Shumejko, transportation engineer for Rochester Hills. (more)
