We need your help! The shutdown put the NPS behind schedule on getting DHDay information out to potential campers looking for reservations. NPS is setting up a call center to help return phone calls. They are looking for people to make call outs with a very short and scripted messages to let visitors know when rec.gov will be going live. If you are interested please contact dennis_hauck@nps.gov

Good info to know for when the lakes melt and we can boat again!Upcoming changes to Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act are aimed at keeping invasive species from spreading across our waters. Beginning March 21, all boaters will be required to perform the following actions before leaving a boating access area:
✅ Remove all drain plugs from bilges, ballast tanks, and live wells
✅ Drain all water from any live wells and bilges
✅ Ensure that the watercraft (including canoes and kayaks), trailer, and any transporting equipment is free of aquatic organisms, including plants
Remember that boaters cannot place watercraft or trailers in the waters of Michigan if an aquatic plant is attached.
Additionally, the changes will require bait to be disposed of in trash containers, never in the water. As a reminder, fish may be released only in the waters where they were caught. These changes are laws and must be followed by all individuals using boating equipment or fishing on Michigan’s lakes and rivers - bit.ly/2HuqU11. Help keep our fishing and recreational activities world class by following the law and remembering to CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY, and DISPOSE. #MiDNR #NotMiSpecies ...
