Every Michigander is familiar with our state’s most famous parks and natural sites: Sleeping Bear Dunes, Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore… the list continues. But there’s one stunning park here in the Great Lakes State that is often overlooked in favor of its more famous counterparts, and you’ll wonder why it took you so long to visit.
Algonac State Park can be accessed from 8732 N River Road in Marine City.
That’s right: when you spend the day at Algonac State Park, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of the St. Clair River. The park covers half a mile of waterfront.
This proximity to the river allows for a completely unique activity at Algonac State Park: viewing international freighters as they make their way through the water, which is split by the United States-Canada border.
So, the next time you’re seeking a perfect natural getaway in the Great Lakes State, take a chance on one of our region’s less-famous spots and plan a trip to Algonac State Park. It might not be at the top of every tourist brochure, but it’s certainly a magical sight to behold.
