Michigan ice storm: Recovery, reopenings and interactive story map
In the wake of the March 28-30 ice storm in northern Michigan, the DNR and dedicated local communities have been relentless in their efforts to clear storm damage and restore facilities statewide.
We’re proud to report significant progress: 93% of parks and recreation facilities, 27% of state-managed nonmotorized and motorized trails and 36% of state forest roads have been safely reopened.
Witness the storm’s impact and our ongoing recovery through drone footage and photos on the DNR’s interactive ice storm story map.
Visit the DNR’s ice storm response page to view a dashboard with the latest status (open, partially open, temporarily closed) of state parks, state-managed trails, boating access sites, state forest campgrounds and state forest roads, as well as to find an interactive map, safety updates and more.
