This law adds Passage Island and the Gull Islands to Isle Royale National Park. On Passage Island, the Navy keeps control of the lighthouse, boathouse, and a connecting right-of-way. Existing property rights on these islands stay valid.

Subject to any valid existing property rights, this section adds two areas to Isle Royale National Park. (a) Passage Island, about 182 acres in Keweenaw County, Michigan, becomes part of the park. But the Secretary of the Navy keeps control over part of the island for lighthouse and boathouse purposes: (1) A roughly 6.5-acre area south of a line 425 feet north of the Passage Island Light stays under Navy control. (2) A roughly 0.78-acre boathouse site, described by a specific set of boundary measurements starting at the Light, also stays under Navy control. (3) A right-of-way connecting those two Navy areas is included; the Secretary of the Navy had to define its exact path within a reasonable time after March 6, 1942. (b) The Gull Islands, about 6 acres in Keweenaw County, Michigan, also become part of the park.
