The Department of Natural Resources reminds people to "GO-Get Outdoors" and make reservations now for their summer camping or boating getaway. Many good campsites and boat slips remain available for the 2008 summer season.
Reservations can be made on-line at www.midnrreservations.com, or by contacting the reservation call center at 1-800-44-PARKS (447-2757). The Central Reservation System was back up and operating on Feb. 18, after a two-day shutdown for routine maintenance.
"All state parks and recreation areas will be open for the 2008 and 2009 seasons," said Ron Olson, chief of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division.
The Michigan state park and recreation system is funded primarily by user fees. It does not receive any General Fund assistance. Due to increased efficiencies in 2007, the various Governors' executive orders and a hiring freeze, the state park and recreation system's financial projections have improved for the next two years of operation.
