MUNISING – In anticipation of the summer recreation season, 2024 Grand Island boat stickers are now available for purchase at the Munising Ranger District Office.
The optional annual boat sticker serves as a “season pass” for day use areas on Grand Island and costs $40 per year. The boat sticker can be used in place of day use fees for up to ten passengers per boat, per day, and can be used unlimited days throughout the calendar year. Boaters without the boat sticker must pay $5.00 per passenger when using day use areas on the island. These fees can be deposited at fee collection stations.
With a valid boat sticker or day use fee, visitors can use the amenities – including picnic table, fire ring, grill, toilet, and garbage service – available at Williams Landing, Murray Bay, Trout West, and Trout Bay East day use areas.
Jet skis and personal watercraft are not allowed on Grand Island. Other non-motorized and motorized watercraft are welcome to visit and can use an annual boat sticker.
To purchase your Grand Island boat sticker, please visit the Munising Ranger District office located at 400 E. Munising Ave, Munising, MI 49862. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed for lunch from noon to 1 p.m.). Please be prepared to provide your name, phone number, type of vessel (length, color, brand) and full address.
For up-to-date office hours please call the Munising Office at 906-387-2512 or visit our website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/hiawatha.
