As Michigan moves to Stage 4 of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer\u2019s MI Safe Start plan<\/a>, the Department of Natural Resources has determined official opening dates for state park and state forest campgrounds, state harbors and other DNR-managed outdoor spaces \u2013 just in time for the summer season.<\/p>\n

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, most state parks, state-managed trails and boating access sites stayed open to provide local opportunities for outdoor recreation. At the same time, the DNR worked behind the scenes to prepare to fully open sites and facilities once the department could again perform nonessential work and hire and train summer park workers.

\u201cWe are excited to open up these resources to visitors again,\u201d said Ron Olson, chief of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division. \u201cWe can identify with the passion and enthusiasm people have for these beautiful outdoor spaces, especially during the warmer months, and we\u2019re working hard to make sure everything is ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
