  • 100 Years of Michigan State Parks
    1 ourmidland.com 2 Page 2 | Week of May 6 -11, 2019 Which state park was Michigan’s first? As the DNR celebrates the 100th anniversary of Michigan state parks system, a natural question arises – what was Michigan’s first state park? Well, the answer depends on how you interpret the question and isn’t simple. The 2019 state parks centennial celebration is centered around the formation of the Michigan State Park Commission by the state Legislature on May 12, 1919. The commission was given responsibility for overseeing, acquiring and maintaining public lands and establishing Michigan’s state parks system. One of the state’s earliest purchases was the site of Interlochen State Park in 1917. Although the land was purchased prior to 1919, Interlochen was the first public park to be transferred to the Michigan State Park Commission in 1920 and is considered Michigan’s first state park. However, many consider Mackinac Island as Michigan’s first state park, which is also true. Approximately 25 years before legislation estab- lished the state park commission, the federal government gifted the Mackinac Island property it owned to the state in 1895. The island was designat- ed as Michigan’s first state park under the Mackinac State Park Commission. Because Mackinac Island is operated under the Mackinac State Park Commission and was not placed under the Michigan State Park Commission, there is more than one answer to the “first state park” question. Interlochen State Park The Michigan Legislature paid $60,000 for the land that became Interlochen State Park, located southwest of Traverse City, in 1917.

  • Boardwalk Interactions with a Lake Michigan Dune System
    Boardwalk Interactions with a Lake Michigan Dune System by Gabe LePage, Bastian Bouman, Benjamin Johnson, Ryan Kiper, and Madison Smith FYRES: Dunes Research Report # 17 May 2015 Department of Geology, Geography and Environmental Studies Calvin College Grand Rapids, Michigan ABSTRACT Boardwalks enable visitors to enjoy dunes in a way that protects sensitive dune environments from human impacts, but a tension remains as a boardwalk itself alters a dune system. This study investigates how a boardwalk in Hoffmaster State Park, Michigan affects human interactions with a Lake Michigan coastal dune system. In autumn 2014, the boardwalk was mapped and the quality of its features assessed. Human impacts were investigated by documenting unmanaged trails and interviewing park staff. Ecological communities were mapped, and vegetation conditions near the trails were recorded. The boardwalk is part of a managed trail system connecting a visitor center with the beach; the boardwalk gives visitors access to a high dune lookout over Lake Michigan. The boardwalk ends at two viewing platforms and is worn but functional. A network of unmanaged trails indicate that people leave the boardwalk. The boardwalk and the unmanaged trails interrupt the ecological communities. The study results suggest that the boardwalk enables enjoyment of the dune and protects vulnerable environments, but it also affects the formation of unmanaged trails and influences dune processes. Understanding the spatial patterns of human interaction with the dune can inform the planning process as park staff work towards reconstructing the boardwalk in the next few years. INTRODUCTION Boardwalks provide people with experiences of fragile natural areas while simultaneously protecting vulnerable environments.
