5/6/13 - The Brighton Recreation Area has installed a new launch system for kayaks and canoes, making it easier for people with disabilities to use the crafts on Bishop Lake. The EZ Launch System will make it possible for a visitor in a wheelchair to move themselves onto a bench and then into a kayak or canoe without assistance. The new system was installed by the Department of Natural Resources using funds awarded through the Michigan State Waterways Program. The system exceeds the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is available for public use beginning this month. (TD)
