Thompson's Harbor State Park, State park and dark sky preserve in Krakow Township, Michigan, US.

Thompson's Harbor State Park extends over 5,109 acres along Lake Huron, featuring limestone beaches, sand dunes, and second-growth forests across the terrain.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources established Thompson's Harbor State Park in 1988 to protect the natural shoreline and diverse ecosystems of Lake Huron.

This protected area functions as a natural laboratory where visitors observe over one hundred bird species and study the native dwarf lake iris populations.

Visitors need a Recreation Passport to access the park's six miles of trails, which support activities from hiking to cross-country skiing throughout the year.

The park's designation as a dark sky preserve in 2016 creates opportunities for astronomical observation without interference from artificial light sources.
