Manitou dock woes continue

North Manitou Island is home to a million-dollar, unappreciated dock. That’s because ferry service to the island, which is owned by the National Park Service, has been suspended even after an expensive dock extension was constructed earlier this summer to accommodate the ferry boat Mishe-Mokwa. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM
