Situated on the shore of Lake Huron, the 4237 acre Rockport State Recreation Area has a host of attractions. There is a limestone quarry and formations, fossils, sinkholes, a bat cave and a ghost village. The night sky is ideal for photography as there is no competing light. There are long and short hikes, opportunities for fishing, and shipwrecks close by, ideal for scuba divers. Picnic areas and a boat launch have been provided. A State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources Recreation Passport is required to enter.
