The Department of Natural Resources today announced the McDonald Lake boat access site in Schoolcraft County will be closed during the week of June 8 for the installation of a new concrete boat ramp.

Funds for this project come from the Waterways Improvement Fund. This is a restricted account that is created by the tax on gasoline paid by boaters and boat registration fees. A DNR boating construction crew will do the work on this project.

For more information or updates about this project, contact Lee Vaughn, Indian Lake State Park supervisor, at (906) 341-2355.

Boaters should access the Michigan Recreation Boating Information System for information on alternate boat access sites in the area at: www.mcgi.state.mi.us/MRBIS.
