ONTONAGON – Fall color rides at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Ontonagon County are closed until at least mid-October.

Upgrades were necessary to the triple-chair lift to meet current engineering and design specifications, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said.

Meanwhile, other scenic areas popular during the fall color season remain open for visitors, including the Lake of the Clouds overlook, the Summit Peak tower and the series of waterfalls along the Presque Isle River, located at the west end of the park.
