New MI DNR Program to Clear Boat Access Site for Ice Fishing
The Michigan DNR has a new pilot program aimed at keeping ice fishing access clear in the Upper Peninsula.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has developed a new pilot program that will help keep boating access sites plowed this winter for those trying to ice-fish. The program will keep the boating access sites at 26 locations plowed over the winter to allow easier access to the popular ice-fishing spots.

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.We have entered into agreements with each partner to try this concept for one year. Depending on the success of the pilot program, we may or may not continue it into next winter.said Zack Bishop, a DNR Parks and Recreation Division Unit Supervisor.
