History
First designated as a spur route from Hancock north to the state park on
1933-07-12, M-203 cancelled as a state highway on
1939-07-13. This cancellation was reversed on
1940-11-12. At this time, M-203 was extended from McLain State Park north to Calumet. M-203 would be rerouted near the state park on
1963-10-16. The highway routing was rerouted out of the park proper, bypassing it to the east. The highway inside the park is partially obliterated in the process.
