We are planning a fishing trip on Keweenaw Bay soon. There is not parking in the area we want to leave shore from, except on the shoulder of US41. I believe the area is called Assinins (?). There is a little parking lot off the highway on the lake side near there, maybe a veteran memorial type area, with a few spaces. It is always full when we get there. What are the rules for parking along the highway in that area? Are people regularly doing it? I know in most cases it is illegal to park on a highway shoulder unless it is an emergency. In the past I have seen cars parked along the side of the road in that area, but not this year. Can anyone tell me what the rules are for there and if it is okay or not. I know with all the snow, the shoulder might not be wide enough to park without creating a hazardous situation. In that case, we would not park. But if there is room, what can we expect from local law enforcement?
