Tawas Point State Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tawas Point State Park is a Michigan state park located near the city of East Tawas. It is just over an hour drive from the Saginaw and Bay City area and only three hours from the Detroit area. The park contains 183 acres situated on the end of a sand spit that forms Tawas Bay. It has been referred to as the "Cape Cod of the Midwest." The campground is located on Tawas Bay where the water is shallow and warm for swimming. Located within the park is the Tawas Point Lighthouse. Although it has been remodeled several times, the station serves as the sole representative of a true Victorian-era style station built on the Great Lakes. The Lighthouse is now open for tours and climbing with a small gift shop on site.
