Marquette Park

Marquette Park is a protected recreational area in Mackinac County that spreads across wooded ground along the Dead River. The grounds include camping facilities, hiking trails, and mountain biking routes set within a forested setting.

The park developed from efforts to protect natural land in the region and make it accessible for recreation. Over time, camping facilities were added and the grounds expanded to serve growing visitor numbers.

The grounds host the annual Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival, bringing together performers and audiences for musical celebrations throughout the season.

The park is free to access, though fees apply for activities like camping or certain facilities. The open layout and marked routes make it easy to navigate for most visitors, though sturdy footwear helps on the wooded paths.

A bike pump track on the grounds gives riders a place to work on handling and control skills at their own pace. The area links directly to the Noquemanon Trail Network, which offers an extensive web of unpaved routes for different riding styles.
