LAKE GOGEBIC — A project to repair damaged ramp planks at the Lake Gogebic State Park boating access site in Gogebic County will require temporary closure of the launch beginning Aug. 15.
The construction is slated to take roughly two weeks, with the boating access site scheduled to re-open after Sept. 2, according to Michigan Department of Natural Resources officials.
During the work, boaters will have access to Lake Gogebic via four other boating access points located on the lake. Those sites include: access at the Bergland Township Park, located 10 miles north of the park; a ramp along the East Shore Road, found 14 miles from the park on the east side of the lake; another in the Ontonagon County Park, 6 miles north of the state park on M-64; and finally access at the Gogebic County Park, which is 6 miles south of the park off M-64.
The work will be performed by a MDNR construction crew from the Baraga Customer Service Center in Baraga County.
Funding for the $30,000 project is being provided through waterways capital outlay funding. The DNR’s capital outlay investments are typically funded with a mix of state restricted revenue, federal revenue and general fund dollars, according to a MDNR press release.
