MUNISING — The Miners Falls area of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore will be temporarily closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 17-21. This includes Miners Falls Road and the parking area.

Access to the Miners Falls Trail and Miners Falls will be unavailable during this time. Visitors can expect to see three to five dump trucks traveling in the Miners area during these hours. This temporary closure will only include Miners Falls Road and will not interfere with access to Miners Castle or Miners Beach.

Maintenance crews will spread gravel on Miners Falls Road to improve road conditions and repair damage caused by wear and tear. This work will improve the quality of the road and allow for a better driving experience while traveling to the Miners Falls parking area.

Check the park website for reopening and updates on Miners Falls Road. Information on the other waterfalls of the park is also available on the website.
