Leelanau State Park, State park in Leelanau Township, Michigan, US.
The 1,550-acre park contains forests, wetlands, beaches along Lake Michigan, and several hiking trails through diverse natural environments.
The park was established in 1964 at the tip of Leelanau Peninsula, featuring the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, which guides ships through the Great Lakes.
The Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum preserves maritime artifacts and presents exhibits about the life of lighthouse keepers in the Great Lakes region.
Visitors need a Michigan Recreation Passport to enter the park, which offers camping facilities, mini cabins, and a network of trails called Cathead Bay.
The park divides into two sections: a northern unit with the lighthouse and campground, and a southern unit containing Cathead Bay trails and beaches.
