M-247 is a north-south highway in the U.S. state of Michigan, connecting M-13 to the Bay City Recreation Area, entirely within Bangor Township.

Starting at its southern terminus at M-13, M-247 follows Euclid Avenue north about two miles, then turns east onto Beaver Road, leading directly into the state park, ending at its entrance.

Historical Notes:M-247 was originally part of M-111 and later part of M-47, and was the largest numbered state highway until 1998, when M-553 in the Upper Peninsula was designated.
