HR 9111 United States House · 118th Congress

Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve Act

HR 9111 redesignates Apostle Islands National Lakeshore as "Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve," creating two distinct areas: Apostle Islands National Park (where hunting and trapping are prohibited) and Sand Island National Preserve (which maintains existing hunting and fishing rules from the previous lakeshore designation). The bill updates all federal references to the area to reflect the new name, clarifies that the Ashland Harbor Breakwater Light is not included in park boundaries, and requires the National Park Service to add interpretive features about regional history at visitor centers. It does not create new regulations but formalizes the existing administrative structure under the National Park System. The change affects park management, visitors' activities, and federal documents referencing the area.
