Update on boating information up here.
🚨 WATERWAY CLOSURE EXTENDED 🚨
The current waterway closures have been extended through May 15, 2026. High water and hazardous conditions include submerged docks, boat hoist and break walls. To protect life and property the closures will remain in place.
🚫 CLOSED TO ALL BOAT TRAFFIC:
• Cheboygan River south of the dam
• Black River
• Indian River
⚠️ NO WAKE LAW IS IN FULL EFFECT ON BLACK LAKE, BURT LAKE AND MULLETT LAKE!
This is to enhance safety and increase the likelihood of spotting floating debris as well as protect the shoreline from additional washout. The lakes remain open; however, all boaters and anglers are urged to use EXTREME CAUTION due to floating debris and rapidly changing conditions.
These closures remain in place to protect lives, property, and infrastructure. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as conditions continue to be monitored.
