The best camping near Cheboygan State Park guide
Overview
About
1250-acre Cheboygan State Park will seduce nature-lovers and sightseers with its rare wildflowers and enticing views of Lake Huron. A convenient color-coded system of trails welcomes hikers, bikers and skiiers to view these sights while taking in deep breaths of that unmistakable Great Lake air. Throw in boating off Duncay Bay, lake or creek fishing, add hunting to the mix, and you’d be hard-pressed to find an outdoor enthusiast who didn’t love this place. But no matter what your jam, make sure to sneak in a visit to the remains of Cheboygan Point Light lighthouse. Now little more than a stone foundation overgrown with trees, it’s nevertheless a cool destination for an afternoon ramble.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Cheboygan State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is in full bloom. However, autumn also offers a spectacular display of fall foliage. Winters can be harsh with heavy snowfall, making some areas inaccessible, so it's less ideal for visitors not seeking winter sports.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Remember to bring insect repellent and sunscreen to protect against the elements.
- Wear appropriate footwear for hiking and exploring the trails.
- Stay informed about any park closures or trail restrictions during your visit.
- Ensure you have a valid Recreation Passport for park entry.
