If you are a motor-home enthusiast, this is the place for you as the park has camping right on the beachfront. The park itself is large and has access to large expanses of beautiful beachfront, with a bathhouse and food truck vendors onsight.

Lighthouse Connector Park

Reviewed By roeservices - Port Huron, United States

Wonderful little park to walk. There is some art work on display which is fun to look at. One is a poem on oars of a rescue boat saving a person whose hand is all you can see. It is a touching life sized reminder and celebration of those who work to save us. Its a great place to walk.

Rosy Mound Natural Area

Reviewed By HitTheTrailsKC - Kansas City, United States

Rosy Mound Natural Area is a beautiful out-and-back hiking trail near Grand Haven, MI, that winds through 3 different ecosystems including back-dune pine forests, sand dune ridges, and lake Michigan coastline. The stairway over the the dunes turns this rather short hike into a more cumbersome adventure, but the views are absolutely worth it. I run a cinematic hiking channel on YouTube called Hit The Trails KC. You can find my video tour and review of this park on YouTube. Search for "Rosy Mound HitTheTrailsKC".

Escanaba Park

Reviewed By MidwestKathM - Detroit, United States

We enjoy all sorts of history so were drawn to this site when we recently visited the Grand Haven Boardwalk and Lighthouse. This park commemorates the Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba which arrived in Grand Haven in 1932. Chilling to learn about its service during WWII on convoy duty and subsequent demise when it sank in 1943 following an onboard explosion, with all but 2 of its 103 person crew killed. Today you can see the Escanaba's mast and historical markers which tell the story of this vessel and its crew and the impact on the community. Nice to know that they are still remembered so many years later!
