This was amazingly our first time on this boardwalk/trail. It was funded by the residents of Manistique through the city’s Downtown Development Authority. It’s approximately 2 miles long and is a mixture of a wooden boardwalk and paved surface. It begins/ends at the famous Manistique lighthouse. It’s a very nice and pleasant walk along Lake Michigan that should be on your list of things to do when visiting.
What a wonderful park and pet friendly. We took our bulldog with us for the walk to the lighthouse. The boardwalk itself to the lighthouse could use some love but it was the end of the season. You must walk about 30 feet of large stones to get to the breaker wall to the light house. Beautiful even on a cold and windy day.
I’m so glad we stopped here! The beach area was clean. The sand was warm. There is a great walkway. Added bonus was being able to walk out to the Lakehouse. Free fun!
Lovely place. I didn’t investigate the whole park as we stopped by here just for a bit while we waited for our pizza. The views are awesome and you can walk to the lighthouse. If you come on the evening, be prepared for mosquitoes.
A nice beach area with plenty of space to share. The parking is a small lot, but it wasn’t busy when we went at the end of season. There are porta potties to use by the parking lot. There is a boardwalk leading towards the lighthouse, but you do have to walk in sand and some rocks to get to the cement pier directly to the lighthouse. It is not open, but you can walk up to the door. It is a beautiful view from all angles. Worth a stop.
