The Lake Fenton boating access site will be closed for the month of May while undergoing a $25,000 reconstruction, recreation officials announced today.

This fee access site is north of Fenton off Grove Park Road and handles up to 79 vehicles in the parking area adjacent to the ramp. Work is being completed by a DNR construction crew based in Grayling and will replace the entire ramp system. Power loading has contributed to the degradation of the ramp’s older materials.

"We’ll work as quickly as we safely can," said Carl Lindell, Bay City district supervisor. "We hope to have the project finished by Memorial Day weekend so boaters and anglers aren’t impacted any longer than necessary."
