Rock Harbor Concessions Improvements

Isle Royale National Park proposes to improve the recreational opportunities and quality of life for Forever Resorts concessions employees stationed at Isle Royale by building a new 2160 sq. ft. recreation hall in Rock Harbor. There currently is not a designated area or building for concession employees who have very limited recreational opportunities on Isle Royale and few opportunities to leave the island during the summer. The Isle Royale General Management Plan supports the continuation of the Rock Harbor Lodge concession operation on Isle Royale. The park will receive funding from a special concessions fund to construct this building. This project will contribute to the quality of visitor services and the sustainability of the concession operation by improving employee morale and reducing staff turnover.

This Environmental Assessment (EA) describes a no action alternative and three action alternatives and analyzes the environmental impacts of each. The National Park Service prefers Alternative D.
