The date was originally moved to May 1. However, the state’s stay-at-home order was extended until May 15.

According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, June 3 will provide the time necessary to prepare the site for the season, as staff are tentatively scheduled to return May 15.

The June 3 date could change if the stay-at-home order is again extended.
