Twin Lakes State Park

Twin Lakes State Park is a 175-acre recreation area on the western shore of Lake Roland with wooded sections and waterfront facilities. The park sits at about 1,197 feet elevation and contains designated zones for different recreational uses.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources established this protected area in 1964 and designated it as a category III natural monument. This designation secured the preservation of the forest and shoreline for future use.

The park serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors swim, fish, and attend seasonal events throughout the year. It functions as part of the community's outdoor recreation rhythm.

A Recreation Passport is required to use the park facilities, which include a boat launch, beach house, and camping areas. About 1.5 miles of trails offer ways to explore different parts of the grounds.

The grounds connect directly to the Bill Nicholls Trail system and allow ORV access, making it accessible for different types of outdoor enthusiasts. This dual function sets it apart from many other protected areas nearby.
