Duck Lake State Park, located in Muskegon County along the shores of Lake Michigan, offers a picturesque beach experience at its northern edge. The park spans 728 acres and features a mix of open brush, mature hardwood forests, and pockets of meadows. A towering sand dune is one of its most striking features, providing scenic views and opportunities for hiking and exploring.
Visitors enjoy the unique connection between Duck Lake and Lake Michigan, though a dam blocks direct boating access to Lake Michigan. The park is ideal for families and nature lovers alike, offering a tranquil retreat with ample opportunities for outdoor activities.
The area is also rich in history, having been acquired by the state from previous scout camps and dedicated as a state park in 1988.
