Baraga State Park

Baraga State Park sits along Lake Superior's shoreline, offering northern forests, hiking routes of varying difficulty, and multiple campground zones. The landscape includes wooded areas that open to water views, with distinct trails connecting different parts of the park.

These lands were long connected to indigenous communities who gathered and hunted along Lake Superior for generations. The establishment as a protected state park opened access to these historically important areas for modern visitors.

This space is managed by Michigan's Department of Natural Resources to keep the Lake Superior shoreline accessible to the public. The park opens up the upper peninsula's natural areas to visitors who want to experience the region on foot and by water.

You need a Recreation Passport to enter the park, and parking is available for both standard vehicles and motorhomes at designated areas. Camping spots are spread across the park with options for tents and RVs, and WiFi is available in certain zones.

Off-road vehicle use is permitted on marked routes between the campground and nearby trails, which connect through to Twin Lakes State Park. This motorized access offers a different way to travel through and experience the landscape.
