This is a charming street with cute little shoppes and some places to get treats for the kids! We found a park and playground to entertain our toddler while waiting for a seat at a restaurant, and there are nice public restroom facilities. The street and businesses were so cute and make an outing in Saugatuck even more fun!

Named after former village president Frank Wicks, this park offers great river views and picnicking.

Reviewed By GregS354 - Holt, United States

Saugatuck is so beautiful, but it can get very busy. Wicks park is a shady refuge where you can relax for a bit, and watch the river. Or you can people watch. We love to spend about an hour here, just resting and conversing.

Oval Beach

Lake Michigan Beach, popular for its clear water and nice sand.

Reviewed By BoysInNY - Chicago, United States

This is a great beach to watch the sunsets. It’s a small beach as much of the sand is eroding. There are facilities here and lots of parking, which makes it an easy beach to visit.

Mount Baldhead Park

Reviewed By schweigj - Saint Louis, United States

Although the steps are steep and you will get a work out, you can take your time. There are places to sit and rest on multiple landings all the way up. And the top had a wonderful view with the option to hike on further.

Saugatuck Chain Ferry

Reviewed By MikeGDTW - Detroit, United States

The ferry ride was pretty awesome to have an older way to cross the river. The cost was minimal and way to go to Saugatuck. There is no parking in Saugatuck, so parked at Mt. Baldy and took ferry across to walk around and had some ice cream.
