Roadside Park Consistency
Michigan has 80+ MDOT-maintained roadside parks and scenic turnouts, spanning both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. They are found on state and US highways, and are seasonal, typically open Apr-Nov. Usually found at a scenic natural feature, they provide parking, and most provide toilet facilities and picnic areas. These are not Rest Areas(see the Rest Area wiki page). The State of Michigan maintains a list of MDOT roadside parks here.
Park Area Place
- Park (under Outdoors) should be set as the primary category.
- The proper name is the official MDOT name, found in the link in the opening paragraph.
- Example: "Michigamme Roadside Park"
- Include any other relevant info (such as "Closed during winter, only open Apr-Nov"), and a (concise) description using text from MDOT.
- Use www.michigan.gov/mdot for the website, and MDOT main contact for the phone number.
- Follow all other guidelines for Places.
Parking Lot Area
- A PLA can be mapped using the guidelines found on the Parking Lot page.
Road Segments
