( CNN ) -- A wildfire that has raged for days in Michigan 's Upper Peninsula has destroyed 97 structures -- including a motel , a store and 34 homes . The Duck Lake Fire has burned more than 22,000 acres and is still going despite recent rains , the Michigan Department of Natural Resources reported on its website . The state agency estimated Monday the blaze is about 51 % contained , thanks to progress made by firefighters in maintaining a firm perimeter . Crews have about 40 miles of firelines set up to control the situation , including 6 miles along the shore of Lake Superior . But a lack of roads in the area has complicated efforts . The fire 's south end is about 14 miles north of Newberry and 7 miles west of the Yahquamenon Falls State Park campgrounds . Lightning sparked the wildfire late Wednesday afternoon , leaving firefighters little time to contain it before dark . The flames picked up significantly the next day , fanned by strong winds and high temperatures . Since then , the wildfire has taken its toll . While noting that the entire affected area has not been surveyed , the state department said at least 97 structures on 39 different properties have been `` lost '' due to the blaze . Dry conditions have exacerbated the fire danger throughout the region . On Friday , Gov . Rick Snyder banned outdoor burning in 49 counties in northern Michigan in hopes of preventing wildfires .
The Indian Lake Fire is located in Michigan 's Upper Peninsula . It has destroyed 34 homes , a barn , a store and other structures , the report said . The fire has burned over 22,000 acres since starting last week .
