Leelanau State Park
Leelanau State Park, located at the tip of Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula, is home to more than 1,550 acres waiting for visitors to explore. The park showcases the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum, a rustic campground, mini cabins, the park’s trail system (also known as Cathead Bay trails), an interactive playground and a picnic area with a pavilion.
The park is divided into two sections located just a few miles apart. The northern unit encompasses the day-use area, lighthouse and rustic campground. The southern unit is home to the popular park’s trail system (Cathead Bay) and sandy beach (via the Lake Michigan Trail).
The iconic Grand Traverse Lighthouse stands in the park and is one of the oldest on the Great Lakes. Tours are available.
