Tunnel Park, Beach park in Ottawa County, United States
Description
Tunnel Park is a beach park along Lake Michigan with sandy shores, dunes, and picnic facilities. The grounds include open areas for swimming and recreation scattered along the waterfront.
History
A concrete tunnel was constructed through the sand dune in the early 1900s to link the parking area with the beach below. This structure gave the park its distinctive name and remains a defining feature.
Culture
Local residents use the picnic areas for family gatherings throughout the warmer months. You will notice how the park serves as a natural gathering place where people celebrate milestones and spend time together by the water.
Practical
The park is easily accessible during daylight hours with ample parking and clear paths to the shoreline. Bring water and sun protection since shade is limited throughout the grounds.
Did you know?
The passageway cuts directly through the sand dune rather than going around it, creating an unusual experience as visitors walk beneath natural sand formations. This hidden route makes arrival at the beach feel like a small adventure.
