I went hiking here with my boyfriend on May 22, 2013, and despite the slightly chilly and rainy weather, the trails and views were so incredibly beautiful, it looked like it was out of some thought up fantasy land, the way the fog was rolling of the water, and how deer would randomly calmly cross our paths a hundred or...

The campsites are crowded, but there are tons of opportunities to find seclusion. Even my wife who is ho-hum about camping is ready to go back! The sandy beach literally stretches for miles. I'm not a fan of beaches (I hate sand), but we could spend all day at this beach. The sand was extremely soft and the shore was... More

it has to be the most beautiful state park in Michigan. There are walking trails and hiking trails, kayaking, fishing, deer and wild life. There is something for everyone. Spend the day, bring a picnic. Camping there is always a great time. Clean bathrooms, and clean park. highly recommend it

Camping here is a challenge as the spots fill up very early. But if you are lucky enough to snag one, you will have all kinds of things to do, from swimming in either Lake Michigan or Hamilton Lake to biking along the bike path. Beautiful.

Great trails! We ended up doing a lot of hiking on a weekend getaway when the weather wouldn't cooperate (hoping for snow and ice) for picture taking.

Beautiful camping, hiking and water grounds for days and days of pleasure. Even in the winter it is beautiful with ops to snowshoe, cross country ski or just walk. Your dog is welcome.

Ludington is a great old lumber town to visit. The park has good beaches and good facilities. Enjoy the light house, the big cross lake ferry, and a great, friendly community.
