There’s good news for those anglers who fish Pipestone Lake in Berrien County, Michigan.

There are plans to repair the steep ramp which historically has had a big hole in the pavement near the water’s edge. The access is not a Michigan DNR property and the ramp is located at the end of a road with limited parking at roadside.

According to details published online, the county is teaming with the township to repair the ramp. County commissioners will be working with the township to “implement an interlocal agreement” in which the township will reimburse the county for repair expenses. It also must get approval from Michigan’s Environment, Great Lakes and Energy division.

We have been told the ramp is presently closed. As of right now, it sounds like repairs won’t begin until next spring.
