DNR to keep access sites plowed at 26 popular U.P. ice fishing spots Updated Jan 12, 2021; Facebook Share A new program will ensure that boating access sites at more than two dozen popular Upper Peninsula ice-fishing locations will remain plowed this winter. The pilot program organized by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and various local partners was created to make sure that ice-fishing opportunities in the U.P. are available consistently during winter. The 26 locations – situated across 10 of the U.P.’s 15 counties – are DNR boating access sites managed for recreational boating. “Because we have had continued requests from the public to maintain access throughout the winter, we’ve partnered with a number of entities to assist with plowing for winter access,” said Zack Bishop, a DNR Parks and Recreation Division unit supervisor.
