Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore - Road Construction (U.S. National Park Service)

Construction on Alger County Road H-58 will cause delays and closures in 2009 and 2010.

During 2009 and 2010, the Alger County Road Commission will re-construct and pave 18 miles of Alger County Road H-58 from the entrance to Little Beaver Lake Campground Road to one-half mile east of Hurricane River Campground.

East and west bound traffic may travel between Little Beaver Lake Campground Road and M-77 (via H-58 and Adams Trail). However, travelers should anticipate delays due to road construction.

H-58 from Kingston Corners (junction of H-58 and Adams Trail) north to Hurricane River will experience road closures and/or delays due to road construction.

During 2009, Twelvemile Beach Campground will be open from June 26 to September 8. There is a possibility that Twelvemile Beach Campground will be open the remainder of the year, but this depends on construction. Call ahead for the current available route to the Twelvemile Beach Campground - it may be via the east (Grand Marais) or the west (Munising).

Hurricane River Campground will be open but only accessible from the east (Grand Marais).

For up-to-date access information, please call the Interagency Visitor Center at 906-387-3700 or the Grand Sable Visitor Center at 906-494-2660.

Information is also available at the Alger County Road Commission website at their Construction page.

Visitors entering the lakeshore from the east (Grand Marais)
will be able to travel as far as Hurricane River Campground.

To access the western portion of the lakeshore (such as Little Beaver Lake Campground, Miners Castle, and Sand Point), visitors must travel to Munising on M-77 and M-28, then travel east on H-58. (Or - at Shingleton - turn north on H-15 to H-58 at Van Meer.)

Visitors entering the lakeshore from the west (Munising)
will be able to access areas up to and including the Little Beaver Lake Campground and Michigan DNR campgrounds (Ross, Canoe, Cusino, North and South Gemini Lakes). Depending upon construction progress, Kingston Lake Campground and Twelvemile Beach Campground may be accessible.

In order to reach the attractions in the eastern portion of the Lakeshore, visitors must travel to Grand Marais on M-28 and M-77 then travel west on H-58.
