As the year winds to a close, NPLSF is looking back at all we have accomplished with your support – and looking ahead to exciting projects in 2024. Enjoy the highlights and learn ways to enjoy the parks, indoors and outdoors, in this latest edition of Lake Notes!
As the only nonprofit friends group for Lake Superior’s five national parks, NPLSF is very busy. Here are five ways our work improved our big lake’s environment, animals, and cultural resources over the past year—and what we have planned for next year - Click on:
How NPLSF is Making a Difference
Pictured Rocks pilots greener (and quieter) trail equipment:
In a win for the environment, work conditions, and visitor experience, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is trading out gas-powered trail equipment for electric battery-powered tools with support from NPLSF.

In November the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa held a groundbreaking to celebrate the redevelopment of Hat Point Marina, home of the 65-foot Voyager II ferry that connects Grand Portage to Isle Royale National Park. Initial renderings include concessions, restrooms, and room for 200 people. Stay tuned for more details! Check out more at:

The NPLSF was pleased to serve as a funding partner securing a National Park Foundation Park Ventures Grant to support “Agaaming Aki” (the land across the water) program for tribal youth at Grand Portage National Monument and Isle Royale National Park. We look forward to sharing more information on this important education initiative led by the parks.
