H-58
is a
county-designated highway
in the US state of
Michigan
that runs east?west 69 miles (111?km) between the communities of
Munising
and
Deer Park
in the
Upper Peninsula
. The western section is routed through
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
, a national park on
Lake Superior
that was created on October 15, 1966, and through the adjacent
Lake Superior State Forest
in
Alger County
. A roadway was present along parts of today's H-58 by the late 1920s; initially, this gravel and earth county road between Munising and Kingston Corners connected with other roads to Grand Marais. In the 1930s, another segment was built to connect to Deer Park and to fill in the gap between Kingston Corners and Grand Marais. The H-58 designation was created after the county-designated highway system itself was formed in 1970. Federal legislation from the 1990s allowed the
National Park Service
to fund improvements to H-58 as the main access road to the park. Paving projects were completed between 2006 and 2010 along the entire length of H-58 in Alger County; the segment in Luce County is still a gravel road. (
