Delta County, Michigan – The Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced today that the Kipling Boating Access Site in Delta County will be closed on Monday, July 14 for channel dredging and installation of a new concrete boat ramp. The project is expected to be completed by Friday, August 1 and the site will reopen upon completion of the project.
During construction, boaters are encouraged to use the nearby Rapid River DNR launch, Gladstone Municipal Marina, Hunters Point United States Forest Service launch and Escanaba North Shore launch.
This project is funded through the Michigan State Waterways Fund, a restricted fund derived from boat registration fees and the Michigan marine fuel tax, which is used for the construction, operation and maintenance of recreational boating facilities, harbors and inland waterways.
For more information or updates about this project, contact Unit Supervisor Jeff Kakuk at 906-786-2354 ext. 134.
The Recreation Passport is an easy, affordable way for residents to enjoy and support outdoor recreation opportunities in Michigan. By checking “YES” for the $11Recreation Passport ($5 for motorcycles) when renewing a license plate through the Secretary of State (by mail, kiosk, online at www.expresssos.com or at branch offices), Michigan motorists get access to state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, non-motorized state trailhead parking and state boat launches. In addition, Recreation Passport holders can experience real savings at businesses and retailers that participate in the Passport Perks discount program.
The Recreation Passport is valid until the next license plate renewal date. Nonresidents can purchase the Recreation Passport ($31 annual; $9 daily) at any state park or recreation area or (annual passes only) through the Michigan e-Store at www.michigan.gov/estore.
