One of the most remote and undiscovered parks in Leelanau county. It contains a long stairway down to a rock filled beach on lake Michigan.
An incredibly beautiful beach! There is an overlook with awe-inspiring views of Lake Michigan within feet of the parking lot, so it’s easily accessible for those who may be handicapped. The rock beach is a place you could spend hours beachcombing.
Beautiful small country park. The trees at the park are worth the trip. If you are planning on coming to the beach there are many stairs to get there. The park has a lot of tables and grills. It also features a overlook and playground. Would recommend visiting.
This park was named for my great-great-great grandfather, who’s daughter gave the land to the county after his death. He also built our house with his brother. This is an amazing park with a amazing and beautiful beach and a great playground, rich with history
It’s a great place to go hangout, very peaceful and great views. If you love rock hunting like me, it’s also a great spot for that as well! Just watch out for the rock spiders lol!
