Ludington State Park

Ludington State Park, situated between the 5,000-acre Hamlin Lake and 7 miles of sandy Lake Michigan shoreline, features scenic sand dunes, three campgrounds, the iconic Big Sable Point Lighthouse, 21 miles of marked trails and more. A 1-mile stretch of the Big Sable River runs through the park and provides excellent opportunities for fishing, paddling and tubing. The historic Lake Michigan beach house, located in the day-use area, is home to interpretive exhibits and programming. A boat launch is available for access to Hamlin Lake. The iconic Big Sable Point Lighthouse is accessible via a 1.8-mile-long (one way) sand-and-gravel pathway.
