Dear friend of Iron County's clear water,
The Iron County Watershed Coalition is reaching out to you...
The purpose of our organization is: To ensure the highest possible quality of waters in Iron County by educating and engaging our communities in projects that will restore and preserve our watershed for future generations.
The activities of the ICWC remain consistent with our goals:

- Support the Miskwaagamiiwiziibi Water Trails Camping Park in Bates Township.
