and a county road running parallel to the Black River was in place by 1927. The residents of the fishing village were forced to move and settled at Black River

National Forest" and boost tourism to the area, according to the park ranger in charge of handling the application. The designation was conferred by the USFS on June 20, 1992, with a dedication ceremony on
