Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive Opening 2023 The spring opening of the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive to vehicle traffic is weather dependent. The drive typically opens in May but many variables could delay the date, such as repairs from winter storm damage or a late-season snowfall.
Those planning a visit to the Lakeshore in April or May: We suggest pre-planning alternate activities as it is likely the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive will not yet be open. The opening of the drive will be announced on social media pages and the website. Please note that the drive remains open in the winter and spring to foot and ski travel and can be accessed via the Shauger Hill Trailhead. What's open?
