Burt Lake State Park, State park in northern Michigan, United States
Burt Lake State Park is a state park on the southeastern shore of Burt Lake in northern Michigan. It offers a sandy beach, boat launches, fishing spots, and a campground sitting right at the water's edge.
The park was established in 1920, making it one of the earliest state parks in northern Michigan. It was created at a time when the state began setting aside shoreline areas for public use.
The park sits within the Inland Waterway region, where lakes and rivers have long served as important passage routes. Visitors today can experience these water corridors that were traditionally vital for movement and exchange.
The park is reached via State Park Drive and has parking available for day visitors. Most water activities are best during the warmer months, but the grounds stay open through the year.
Burt Lake is part of a water corridor roughly 38 miles (61 km) long that links several lakes through rivers. A paddler or boater can travel this entire chain without ever leaving the water.
