Orchard Beach State Park
Orchard Beach State Park, Historic state park on Lake Michigan bluff, Manistee County, US
Orchard Beach State Park is a state park on a Lake Michigan bluff with 166 campsites spread across an elevation of about 100 feet. Paved paths connect different sections of the park and make it easy to move around the grounds.
The park was established in 1921 and named after an old apple orchard that once occupied land north of Manistee. This agricultural past shaped the area before it became a public recreation space.
The stone pavilion and shelter building serve as gathering places for weddings and regional events that shape community life. These structures stand as meeting points where people come together to mark important occasions.
The park offers about 3.5 miles of trails through forest areas that are accessible year-round. Visitors can enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, or nature watching depending on the season and weather.
A historic structure weighing about 850 tons was relocated and restored on the park grounds. This project demonstrates impressive engineering work and commitment to preserving structures from earlier times.
