The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking the public to give input on the future of Rockport Recreation Area through an online survey open until November 21. The feedback will be used to update the park’s general management plan, which covers over 4,000 acres and nearly six miles of Lake Huron shoreline, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The updated plan replaces versions from 2008 and 2010 and focuses on the park’s natural features and recreational activities, including fishing, diving, and stargazing. It will use information from past assessments and the public survey to guide management of the park, as reported by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Debbie Jensen, DNR park management plan administrator, said, “Public input is a critical component of park planning, and the new draft general management plan will be developed in response to the valuable information learned during this process." A public meeting next summer will allow more comments on the draft plan. People can also give input through a survey at Michigan.gov/Rockport. Questions can be directed to Matt Lincoln at [email protected] or 517-881-3492. The feedback will be used to develop Rockport Recreation Area’s management plan, as stated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
