"Recreation vehicles" come in all shapes and sizes. Alger County Road H-58, the main paved road through the national lakeshore, is suitable for any sized recreational vehicle or motorhome when the road is open in spring, summer, and fall. (During the winter, H-58 between the Grand Sable Visitor Center and the Adams Trail is not plowed and serves as a snowmobile trail.) The road is quite curvy in places, so slow down, keep your eyes on the road, and enjoy the drive.

The park's campgrounds and several other unpaved roads are not well suited for the largest RVs, motorhomes, or trailers. For information about the campground site vehicle limits (including photos), please visit the Drive-in Camping page.

Unpaved Park Roads with Size Restrictions:

  • Miners Falls Road - No vehicles longer than 32 feet.
  • Chapel Road and parking lot (from June 15 to September 15) - No vehicles in excess of 36 feet or vehicle/trailer combined units in excess of 42 feet.
  • Little Beaver Lake Road (which leads to the Little Beaver Lake Campground) - Single units in excess of 36 feet and vehicle/trailer combinations in excess of 42 feet are prohibited on this road.

Aside from these size-restricted roads, other park areas not well suited for large RVs or motorhomes due to limited parking and ability to turn around are:
