LANSING, MI— Improvements at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park are moving toward completion.
The upgrades are funded by $250 million given to the state through the federal American Rescue Plan Act. The money for state parks and trails investment will help the Michigan Department of Natural Resources address a decades-long backlog of repair and maintenance needs and build a new state park in Flint.
The Porkies visitor center, headquarters building, and park road where both buildings sit are expected to reopen in late September. Other work, including the Summit Peak parking lot, is slated for late September.
Electrical improvements at the ski hill, visitor center, and campground are planned for the future.
