Special Weather Statement issued May 22 at 11:08AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI
The combination of dry surface conditions, low afternoon relative humidity values, and gusty east to southeast winds will result in elevated fire danger conditions across northern lower Michigan this. Sustained winds of 7 to 15 mph with gusts of 20 to 30 mph will be seen over northern Michigan this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values of 20 to 35 percent are expected over much of northern lower Michigan. These conditions could lead to rapid spread of fires. Check burning restrictions and fire danger before burning. For more information on burning restrictions for Michigan, see www.dnr.state.mi.us//.
About
Interlochen State Park holds the distinction of being Michigan's first state park, established in 1917. Located 15 miles southwest of Traverse City between Green Lake and Duck Lake, the park is known for its stands of virgin white pine trees alongside oaks and maples that provide generous shade throughout the campgrounds. The Duck Lake Modern Campground features over 400 sites divided into north and south loops, many within view of Duck Lake. These modern sites include electrical hookups (some with 50-amp service), access to flush toilets and showers in multiple restroom buildings, and a dump station. Sites accommodate RVs and trailers up to 40 feet. The Green Lake Rustic Campground offers 59 primitive sites with vault toilets and hand-pump water, accommodating units up to 30 feet on natural-surface driveways. Park amenities include two swimming beaches, a concession store selling firewood and supplies, and Simple Adventures kayak and paddleboard rentals operating Memorial Day through Labor Day. The park hosts weekly nature programs during summer months. Reservations are available through the Michigan DNR reservation system and are highly recommended during peak summer season.
