In anticipation of the summer recreation season, Hiawatha National Forest is announcing that the 2023 Grand Island boat stickers are now available for purchase at the Munising Ranger District Office.
Who needs a sticker? The $40.00 annual boat sticker covers the day use fee for up to 10 people per boat for the entire year. With a valid sticker, a boat and its passengers can visit Grand Island National Recreation Area Day Use Areas unlimited times throughout the calendar year. The cost per person per day without the sticker is $5.00, which can be deposited at fee collection stations on Grand Island.
With a valid boat sticker or day use fee, visitors can use the amenities — including picnic table, fire ring, grill, toilet, and garbage service — available at Williams Landing, Murray Bay, Trout West, and Trout Bay East Day Use Areas. Ninety-five percent of the fees collected from day use areas and campsites on Grand Island National Recreation Area come back to the Forest to support recreation services here.
To purchase your Grand Island boat sticker for 2023, please visit the Munising Ranger District office on Tuesdays between 8-4:30 through May 16; after that date, please call ahead to schedule an appointment. Please be prepared to provide your name, phone number, type of vessel (length, color, brand) and full address. For up-to-date office hours please call the office at 906-387-2512 or visit Hiawatha National Forest website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/hiawatha.
