COVID-19 Information
As the state continues in a COVID-19 recovery phase, the DNR is planning the return of facilities and sites to pre-pandemic public hours, effective May 1.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services says that even during a post-surge recovery phase, face masks remain an important tool in mitigating the spread of COVID-19. Anyone who feels sick, may be at higher risk of infection, or who feels better protected when masked should choose when they feel comfortable masking.
Follow state actions and guidelines at Michigan.gov/Coronavirus.
