GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — National Forests in Michigan are shutting down recreational facilities and restrooms to follow social distancing guidelines and to ensure health safety, the United States Department of Agriculture announced Friday.
The USDA says recreational facilities and restrooms at the Hiawatha, Huron-Manistee and Ottawa National Forests will shutdown indefinitely. In addition, trash pick-up will be suspended.
Overnight use is shut down at the Hiawatha and Ottawa forests and campfires are prohibited, to reduce the risk of first responders being called in the event of a wildfire.
