Clear Lake State Park, State park at Clear Lake, Michigan, US
Clear Lake State Park is a recreation area on Clear Lake in Michigan with campgrounds, hiking paths, and a swimming beach along the shoreline. The park provides access to the water's edge and includes facilities designed for day visitors and overnight stays.
The park was established in 1966 by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources as a public recreation site. Its creation protected the shoreline for public access and enabled development of facilities for outdoor recreation.
The park sits in Michigan's elk territory, where visitors regularly observe these magnificent animals and listen to their characteristic sounds during seasonal migrations.
A Recreation Passport provides entry to the site. Camping spots should be booked ahead of time through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website or by phone.
The site connects directly to the Atlanta ORV route and Michigan Cross Country Cycle Trail, allowing visitors to access off-road and cycling paths from the campground. This connection makes the area a hub for motorized and bicycle recreation.
