East Lake boat launch to close temporarily for maintenance Sept. 21-Oct. 3
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources today announced that the boat launch on East Lake (Luce County) will temporarily be closed Sept. 21-Oct. 3 for maintenance.
During this closure, the launch will receive upgrades including an improved parking area and installation of a new vault toilet.
This maintenance project is funded through the Michigan State Waterways Fund, a restricted fund derived from the collection of boat registration fees, a portion of the Michigan marine fuel tax and user fees. Waterways funding is dedicated to the acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of recreational boating facilities.
Please note that dates of maintenance are tentative and may change without notice. After Oct. 3, please call the DNR Newberry field office at 906-293-5900 to check if the site is open.
