MUNISING, MI-- You can’t get to Paradise from here anymore.
That’s the word from Hiawatha National Forest officials, who say there is no longer public road access to Paradise Point just west of Munising. Visitors have historically reached the recreational area via Forest Road 2491, a portion of which crosses private property. To limit potential liability concerns, the landowner has decided to close the section of the road on their property.
Forest Supervisor Cid Morgan says, "The Forest Service respects the private landowner’s rights and encourages visitors to do the same. The Forest Service does not promote or support trespassing on private property to access National Forest System Lands.”
The Forest Service plans to analyze the Paradise Point area as part of the upcoming Addis Rock project to determine how best to manage the land and resources in the future.
