Seven Lakes State Park

Great park! There are tons of awesome trails to walk with you and your family with streams, lakes, etc. Good fishing with a number of options from public boat launch to shore fishing. Good place for mushroom hunters with a large state land are for other hunting options. Also a wide range of activities and classes to help cure boredom and educate yourself on the outdoors.
Beautiful overlooks.

Nice local state park.
Big beach, lots of picnic tables & benches, volley ball net, playground, etc.

Omg, we found this place by accident but found an amazing overlook.
Michigan has a great network of parks throughout the state. If you are new to the area, or new to the outdoors, you will definitely enjoy exploring parks large and small in Metro Detroit, like Kensington Metro, Heritage Park, etc. But this one is ~ an hour and half north. We went on the first sunny day in March and were gifted panoramic views of kettle and kame topography (unique and hilly land formations). There was even some ice on the ponds, still solid enough to show footprints of someone walking.
Nice hilly paths. There wasn’t an open facility (perhaps because it was before Memorial Day), so nowhere public to use the bathroom: O
Enjoy exploring PURE Michigan!

Seven Lakes State Park, has it all. I love camping at Sand Lake Campground, and hiking in the state park. The Campground is small, cheap ($ 19.00 a night) and family oriented. The lake is small and clean, and has no motors on it, so it’s quiet. They rent canoes and paddle boats, and even will bring you firewoood if you have a motor home, like me and no car. I feel real safe camping there as a woman alone. I camped here a few times this year and enjoyed it more each time. It’s my new favorite place to camp.
