All visitors must be extremely careful when traveling around the island. You may encounter other people driving high-clearance cars, trucks, ATVs or riding mountain bikes or walking. Motor vehicle and ATV operators must obtain a permit from the Munising District Office before using your vehicle on the island. Motor vehicles are not allowed on some roads for safety reasons. You cannot leave a vehicle on the island overnight unattended.
Sand beaches are off limits to all wheeled vehicles, but walk-in access is available.
Because of the hazardous condition of the roads, motor vehicle use is not recommended. Camping Campsites have been designated on Murray's Bay and Trout Bay beaches in order to protect sensitive environments. No camping is allowed on North Beach. Please do not camp near any buildings. Other than those restrictions, you may camp anywhere else on the island.
