The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has announced that the Green Lake boat launch site and campground in the Waterloo State Recreation Area near Chelsea will close temporarily on Monday, Oct. 10, for an improvement project. The construction project, which is the second phase of improvements at Green Lake, includes installing a new concrete boat ramp, restoring the parking lot and completing road improvements. The campground and boat launch are expected to reopen on Friday, Oct. 21.

During the temporary closure, anglers can explore the fishing opportunities at any one of the other nine boat launch sites in Waterloo, visit www.michigan.gov/waterloo for further information. For those wishing to camp, Sugarloaf Lake and Portage Lake Campgrounds are open.
