Spanning 2,737 acres, Newport State Park is one of the state’s few formally designated wilderness areas. It is extremely popular with visitors as there’s so much to see and do on land and in water - there are over eleven miles of Lake Michigan shoreline at the park. You go hiking or biking on over thirty miles of trails, much of which will take you through the stunning wetlands, upland meadows, and hardwood forests which are situated in the park. Other activities you can participate in are fishing and limited hunting, for which you’ll need proper licenses, camping, boating, canoeing, kayaking, cross-country skiing, and stargazing.
