MARQUETTE, MI-- Roadside parks in the Upper Peninsula will open late this year.

The Michigan Department of Transportation says all 32 parks will remain closed until remaining snow melts, facilities thaw, and water recedes.

The parks had been scheduled to open on April 28, but M-DOT has pushed that date to May 12.

For a list of roadside parks in the state go to michigan.gov/mdot.
