The Department of Natural Resources announced today that the Lincoln Street Boating Access site located next to the Cheboygan Lock and Dam will be closed starting today for construction which will include accessibility improvements and paving.

Alternate boat ramps that may be used to access the Cheboygan River or Mullett Lake are Jewell Road, Aloha State Park, the Forks and Mullett Village Boating Access Site. The South Street parking lot will be open for fishing.

The upgrade to this facility is funded by the Michigan State Waterways Fund and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Sport Fish Restoration Fund. Total costs for the project are estimated at over $3.5 million.

Any questions should be directed to Thomas Paquin, manager of the DNR's Cheboygan Field Office, at 231- 627-9578.
