MUNISING, Mich. – A popular trail within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has been closed indefinitely.

About 75 feet of the Munising Falls Trail was washed out on Monday, April 28, from heavy rain and snow melt, according to the National Park Service.

Due to this, there isn’t a safe access point to view Munising Falls.

“Travel in the Munising Falls area is strictly prohibited to protect both visitor safety and sensitive natural resources,” the National Park Service said.

Here’s a map from the park service that shows the current closure:
