About H-58 (Michigan county highway) in brief
H-58 is a county-designated highway in the US state of Michigan that runs east–west for approximately 69 miles. The western section is routed through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, along the southern shore of Lake Superior, and the adjacent Lake Superior State Forest. The segment running east of Grand Marais to Deer Park in Luce County is a gravel road that connects to H-37 in Muskallonge Lake State Park. Paving projects were completed between 2006 and 2010 so that the entire length of H-58 in Alger County is now paved. The last sections to be paved in the 20th century were completed in 1974. The highway is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and can be accessed from the Hurricane River Campground and the Au Sable Lighthouse in Grand Sable County. The roadway crosses the Lake Superior River and turns southerly away from Lake Superior near the Grand Dunes. H- 58 turns backward near the Lake Sable River near Grand Sables and turns eastward towards the Grand Rapids River and the Detroit River. The road then travels northward towards Buck Hill, which is near the intersection with the Adams Truck Trail; at that intersection, there is a parking lot for snowmobiles. The area on each end of the park averages around 140–144 inches of snowfall annually, while the National Park Service says that this central section of the road is higher.
The roadway runs outside of, and parallel to, the southern boundary of the national lakeshore. The park visitors center is open year round, is located off H-57 on Sand Point Road at the west end ofThe highway turns due east and runs through an intersection with H-13. The highway follows the eastern end of Munising Street through the eastern side of the city by the Neenah Paper Mill, then turns northeasterly. The Highway turns northward toward Log Slide as it continues through forest lands and fields and fields toward the Log Slide. The section between Munising and Van Meer formed part of M-94 from 1929 until it was transferred back to county control in the early 1960s. The southwestern segment between Muniseer and Melstrand is located outside the national Lakeshores in the Lake Dulce State Forest in the Alger County. Mel Strand is a small community in Lake Superior that is located just outside the lake’s southern edge. The highway meets H-15 in Van Meer, site of the Bear Trap Inn and Bar, and turns northeast along Melstrands Road to the community of Melstrander. The portion of the highway from Mel Strander to Deer Park is closed to vehicles during the winter months each year; snow plows do not clear the snow from the roadway, allowing it to be used as a snowmobile trail.
