Lake Hudson State Recreation Area, Dark-sky preserve and recreation area in Hudson Township, Michigan.
Lake Hudson State Recreation Area spans 2,796 acres around a 502-acre reservoir with a maximum depth of 24 feet.
The site originated from three separate water bodies - Bear Lake, Covell Lake, and Haley Lake - merged through an earthen dam construction.
Lake Hudson earned recognition as the first dark-sky preserve in the United States in 1993, promoting natural night sky observation.
The recreation area features 50 campsites with electrical hookups, vault toilets, and a hand pump for potable water access.
The lake maintains a no-wake regulation for all vessels, creating optimal conditions for fishing and spotting muskellunge up to 47 inches long.
