Orchard Beach State Park
Orchard Beach State Park, Historic state park on Lake Michigan bluff, Manistee County, US
The 166-site campground spans across a 100-foot elevation overlooking Lake Michigan, with paved paths connecting different recreational sections of the park.
Established in 1921, the state park received its name from the century-old apple orchard that previously occupied the land north of Manistee.
The stone pavilion and shelter building host community gatherings, weddings, and regional events throughout the year, strengthening local connections.
The park maintains 3.5 miles of trails through forest areas, offering year-round activities including cross-country skiing, hiking, and nature observation.
An 850-ton historic structure was relocated and restored within the park grounds, demonstrating significant engineering and preservation achievements.
