Synopsis
Excerpt from Development Concept Plan, Interpretive Prospectus: North Manitou Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan
Most island visitors will arrive by ferry at a new dock in the village to stay a few nights on the island. A small contact station will be provided in a remodeled historic structure in the lifesaving station complex. The complex will also serve most administrative functions such as ranger residences. Most village structures outside the lifesaving station complex will be removed except for one building for maintenance and storage, one building for a camping shelter, and a historic sawmill. The sawmill will be preserved as an interpretive display if it is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Structures in the backcountry will be allowed to deteriorate naturally.
An existing figure-eight trail system on former dirt roads will be retained and supplemented by a designated trail to Lake Manitou, also on a former dirt road. The open-camping policy will be continued for the backcountry, and a monitoring program will be instituted to check resource impacts and other management concerns. If necessary, more restrictive management actions will be implemented, such as designated campsites. The existing village campground will be supplemented by another small primitive campground south of the lifesaving station complex. Specific boundaries are proposed for the village wilderness exclusion, which will encompass the lifesaving station complex, sawmill, and camping shelter, and will provide access to private land in the village.
