Duck Lake State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duck Lake State Park is a state park along Lake Michigan located south of Whitehall, Michigan in Muskegon County, Michigan. The park covers 728 acres but has no camping. The land was purchased by the Nature Conservancy from the Boy Scouts organizations, and was acquired by the state in 1974. The park officially opened in 1988.

The park features a large sand dune and a beach, at the mouth of Duck Lake, is a popular spot for swimming and fishing. The park runs along the north side of Duck Lake to Lake Michigan.

The Scenic Drive portion is part of the Shoreline Trail route in Muskegon County.
