Beginning Monday, a public boating access site will be temporarily closed on Oman’s Creek, located off Lake Road, 17 miles north of Ironwood at Little Girls Point.
The concrete ramp planks of the boat launch have cracked and chipped with significant areas of damage, making launching difficult. The access site will be closed until Aug. 30.
Saxon Harbor, located approximately 8 miles to the west in Wisconsin, provides alternative public access to Lake Superior. Black River Harbor located 20 miles to the east and north of Bessemer, Michigan, also provides available public access.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources field construction crew from the DNR Baraga customer service center will complete the work on the $26,000 project with money provided from the state’s waterways fund.
