Public Input Sought to Improve Visitor Experience and Accessibility on Sand Island

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is seeking public input on options to improve visitor experience and accessibility on Sand Island. A plan/environmental assessment (EA) is being developed that will help implement a portion of the park's General Management Plan (GMP) and Accessibility Transition Plan. The GMP calls for increased camping opportunities; ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible trails; a day-use area; and improved docking on Sand Island. The Accessibility Transition Plan recommends replacing the dock; creating an Accessible route to the island from the dock; creating an accessible route from the public dock to the light station; and modifying one group site and one individual site to provide features of Accessibility.
