This law makes all federally owned land inside Isle Royale National Park's boundaries part of the park. The Navy keeps control of Menagerie Island and Rock of Ages for lighthouse purposes. The Navy also keeps the right to maintain navigation aids there.

All federally owned land within Isle Royale National Park's boundaries becomes part of the park. But the Secretary of the Navy keeps control for lighthouse purposes over two specific spots: Menagerie Island (in a specified township and range) and an unsurveyed island called Rock of Ages (in specified sections). The Navy also keeps the right to maintain its existing floating and shore navigation aids there, and to add new ones whenever normal navigation needs require it.
