South Higgins Lake State Park, State park at Higgins Lake, Michigan, US.
This 1,364-acre recreation area features one mile of shoreline on Higgins Lake and includes Marl Lake with 5.5 miles of surrounding forest trails.
The Michigan State Park Commission established South Higgins Lake State Park in 1927, creating a public recreation space near one of Michigan's largest spring-fed lakes.
The park functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Michigan's natural heritage through interpretive programs and outdoor activities throughout all seasons.
Visitors need a Recreation Passport for vehicle entry, gaining access to nine boat launches, camping areas, swimming beaches, and hiking trails across the park.
The park contains two distinct water bodies: clear Higgins Lake for motorized activities and smaller Marl Lake restricted to non-motorized and electric vessels.
