Two Boating Access Sites to Undergo Renovations
Two public boating access sites (BAS), the M-37 Bridge BAS in Lake County and the Pine Street BAS in Newaygo County, will undergo renovations beginning in mid-August, the Department of Natural Resources announced today.
Depending on the stage of construction, launching a boat at these sites may be impeded and access to these two sites may not be allowed. The M-37 BAS is on the Pere Marquette River. The Pine Street BAS is on the Muskegon River.
The M-37 Bridge BAS in Lake County, two miles south of Baldwin, will be under construction from Aug. 13 through Aug. 31. An alternate site for launching would be The Forks BAS, located three miles south of Baldwin on the Little South Branch of the Pere Marquette River.
The Pine Street BAS in Newaygo County will be under construction from Aug. 27 through Sept. 14. An alternate site would be the Croton Dam Township Park, located one mile upstream of Pine Street.
“The improvements will be worth the inconvenience,” said Ron Monroe, supervisor of the boating access sites. “Both sites are being paved and reconfigured for easier launching.”
Other area launches may be found by searching the Michigan Recreation Boating Information System at www.mcgi.state.mi.us/mrbis.
The DNR is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural resources for current and future generations.
