County Road 107 will be closed west of South Boundary Road while work is underway. A search for a long-term solution to the problem continues. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Ontonagon County Road Com- mission have teamed up to pro- tect County Road 107 to ensure continued east access to the 60,000-acre park and its signa- ture attractions. The work started in August after storm erosion resulted in about 80% of the 1.6- mile stretch of affected county road having less than 20 feet of shoreline between the lake and the road. The DNR involved itself in the county road project because of the road’s importance to the park. “Without this main access way, should a road washout or Photo courtesy Michigan Department of Natural Resources. undermining occur, visitors to A RECENTLY completed stretch of County Road 107 shows armoring work in the form of large boulders placed to protect the shoreline the park’s east end may be and road from Lake Superior waves. required to take an 80-mile Recreation Division. “Access to the Lake of the DNR Parks and Recreation.
