DUCK LAKE STATE PARK
Introduction Duck Lake State Park is a 728 acre day use park, located in Muskegon County. Featuring a towering sand dune, the park stretches from the northern shore of Duck Lake to Lake Michigan. The terrain is a mixture of open brush land to mature hardwood forest, with some pockets of open meadows mixed in. The land was purchased by the Nature Conservancy from two Boy Scout organizations, and acquired by the state in 1974. Remains of the old scout camps were removed and access roads were constructed. The park was officially dedicated in the spring of 1988.
Location The park is located eight miles north of Muskegon. From US-31, take the Whitelake Drive (Duck Lake State Park) exit, west and go a half-mile to Whitehall Road. Turn left on Whitehall Road and go two miles to Michillinda Road. Turn right and go six miles to the park entrance.
Directions
Take US 31, exit Whitelake Drive and follow sign to entrance.
