Draft Sand Island Campsite and Day-Use Plan and Environmental Assessment, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
A draft Sand Island Campsite and Day-Use Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA) has been developed to determine how to correct a number of issues related to Sand Island visitor use facilities, respond to increasing visitor use and demand, enhance visitor experience, and increase accessibility for people of all ablities on the island. The Plan/EA would help implement the park's 2011 General Management Plan (GMP), which calls for increased camping opportunities, accessible trails, a day use area, and improved docking on Sand Island. The Plan/EA includes four alternatives that address the following issues:
- The dock is in very poor condition and is in need of replacement with a dock that improves protection for boaters and decreases impacts to coastal processes;
- Visitors are routed through campsites to access trails and privies.
- The demand for campsites far exceeds the availability.
- Campsites and trails that are accessible to people of all abilities are not available on Sand Island.
