A Phase I Archeological Survey was conducted of the Little Beaver Lake Campground and the White Pine Trail parking lot expansion area within the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on August 8th, 2008. The campground, a popular drive-in spot for tenting and small trailer use is located about 2.5 miles (4 km) north of H-58 at the terminus of the Little Beaver Lake Road, on the southwest end of Little Beaver Lake. The White Pine Trail parking lot is located approximately ¼ mile (0.4 km) to the south of the campground immediately west of Little Beaver Lake Road. The Phase I Survey, discussed below, was done in support of the Little Beaver Road Rehabilitation project (PMIS No. 53799; FHWA Project PIRO 15-1) and included excavation of shovel test pits (STPs) along with surface pedestrian transects. No cultural material was recovered from the testing.
