Fisherman's Island State Park is a public park covering 2,678 acres (1,084 hectares) located along six miles (9.7 kilometers) of Lake Michigan shoreline southwest of Charlevoix, Michigan. The park is named after Fisherman Island, a small piece of land about 900 feet (270 meters) away from the mainland. From 1998 until 2016, low water levels in Lake Michigan often caused the island to connect to the mainland through a natural landform called a tombolo. The park's interior has rolling dunes covered with maple, birch, and aspen trees. These dunes are interrupted by wet areas where cedar and black spruce trees grow. The park is managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Activities and amenities
The park has rustic campgrounds. Some of these are located in the dunes along the lake shore. The park offers picnicking, swimming beaches, over three miles of hiking trails, hunting, and snowmobiling.
