Everything that makes Michigan special is embodied in the 97 state parks and six state forests!
Recreational staples such as hiking, camping, fishing, hunting and picnicking are just the beginning of all the adventures available to park and forest visitors.
Boating, biking, sightseeing, wildlife watching, ice fishing, water skiing, horseback riding, off-roading in your vehicle, nature study, skating, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, sailboarding or just lounging around and relaxing with family and friends are all available. No matter where you go, there's a state park or forest that offers what you want to do.
In Michigan, state parks and state forests are dedicated to the visitor's enjoyment. Fill out a Customer Comment card at a state park or recreation area so the DNR knows how you feel about your most recent experience.
A Michigan state park motor vehicle permit, available at each park entrance gate, is required at all state parks.
