Petoskey State Park, State park on Little Traverse Bay, Michigan, US
The 300-acre park includes sandy beaches, hiking trails, and campgrounds along Lake Michigan's shoreline, with dense forests and sand dunes throughout the grounds.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources established Petoskey State Park in 1969, transforming the natural coastal area into a protected recreational space.
The park functions as a central location for finding Petoskey stones, fossilized coral fragments that became Michigan's official state stone.
Visitors need a Recreation Passport for entry, and the park maintains two modern campgrounds with 180 sites equipped with electrical service.
The Old Baldy Trail leads to a large sand dune formation, offering views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan's clear waters.
