The Muskegon State Park was established in 1923 on land purchased from a lumber milling company. It is 1233 acres in size and has two miles of sand beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. In the 1930s the Civil Conservation Corps cleared the two campsites, built roads and planted trees. They built a blockhouse which provides panoramic views from the highest point in Muskegon County. It burnt down in 1960 and a replica stands in its place. A fishing pier and boat launch have also been constructed. Visitors can camp, swim, fish, hike and picnic in the park. In winter, ice-skating, ice-fishing and cross-country skiing are possible.
