Construction to Begin July 13 at the Bergland Dock Boating Access Site

Contact:  Dan Dowdy 906-353-6558
Agency: Natural Resources


June 25, 2009

The Department of Natural Resources today announced that the Bergland Dock Boating Access Site, located in Bergland Township in Ontonagon County, will undergo construction beginning July 13.

The $200,000 project will include a parking area for 35 vehicles with trailers, a 36-foot wide by 70-foot long ramp, a new ADA compliant vault toilet, and a 5-foot by 30-foot universally accessible courtesy pier.

The DNR construction crew plan to start mobilizing equipment and supplies on July 6, but construction is not expected to begin until July 13.

The launch will remain open during construction but users may experience congestion and, at times, the crew may require temporary closures of the launch. During these times, Lake Gogebic can also be accessed at four alternate locations which include a facility on the east shore, two Gogebic County facilities and one launch at Lake Gogebic State Park.

Completion of this project is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 1.

This project is funded through the Michigan State Waterways Fund, a restricted fund derived from boat registration fees and a portion of the Michigan marine fuel tax for the construction, operation and maintenance of recreational boating facilities, harbors and inland waterways.

For more information or updates about this project, contact the Baraga State Park Supervisor Dan Dowdy at (906) 353-6558.

Boating access site permits are $24 for an annual permit, or $6 for a daily permit, for both residents and nonresidents. Boating access site permits also are available at fee sites. For a list of boating access sites that require a permit, visit the "Boating" section on the DNR's Web site, or visit www.mcgi.state.mi.us/MRBIS for all boating access sites throughout the state.

The DNR is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural resources
for current and future generations.
