Entire Duck Lake Area Back Open

Posted: Updated:

The entire Duck Lake area is back open to the public.

The DNR lifted the closure in Luce County on Monday.

The fire started when lightning hit back on May 24, 2012.

It is now more than 91% contained.

The Duck Lake fire is the 3rd largest wildfire in Michigan's history.

It burned through more than 21,000 acres and destroyed 136 structures, including homes, cabins and businesses.

The Two Hearted ORV Trail is still closed off because of fire damage to trails and safety signs.
