Dear Friends,
During this difficult time as the US and world works to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Friends of Sleeping Bear want to do whatever we can to support the efforts advised by the CDC, state, and national government agencies.
As our mission is to “Protect resources and heighten visitor experiences in partnership with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.”, we want to ensure the safety of our members, supporters, and the community.

The Friends is an all-volunteer organization and we often accomplish administration tasks remotely. Meetings, training sessions, and other group gatherings are being suspended and we will move forward with online meetings and audioconferences so that essential business can continue.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is open and maintaining normal operations based on information from the CDC, state governments, and local health authorities. Check out the National Park Service website for the most up-to-date information on your national parks.
Our participation in National Lakeshore events will be determined by the guidance of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore management.
Visit our website for the latest updates on all planned events as we will note changes and cancelations immediately.

We understand that spending time outdoors is a great way to pass this time of uncertainty while keeping active and healthy. Therefore, we will continue to promote safe visitation to the park. If you plan to visit the lakeshore, be prepared to walk on trails that can still be icy and snow-covered in some areas. Be kind on the trails and pass each other using the recommended 6-foot social boundary.
If you see any safety concerns that may require immediate attention, please fill out the safety report on our website.
