Nice open area ,with paved walking trails, great bay views, a small pond for kid fishing only. There were a couple of guys fishing off the dock. I don’t know if that would work in boating season. There is a launch, I believe I saw something about slip rental, not for sure. There are restrooms, they are closed for the season as of our visit 10/27/24. There is an overview, and we stopped, then realized we could get the lake front. All in, it was a nice visit.
Great park. Clean restrooms, nice area to walk and stretch the legs. Close to downtown shops.
Beautiful park in Petoskey area. Pets are welcome on a 6 foot leash on the grassy areas, provided you pick up after them (baggies and trash cans available). Beautiful views of the water and the lighthouse, playground area, sidewalk, nearby marina. Highly recommend.
Beautiful waterfall, scenic area with a bridge and overlook area. You can see the bridge from this spot, it’s gorgeous.
Definitely a favorite park to stop at and relax by the beach, they have have a man made waterfall, however since that area of Michigan does have natural rock and cliffs, makes it feel way different than petosky! Go to the beach and find some stones too.
