Lake Waterfront Beach Parks Quaint

A small town on Lake Michigan, Ferrysburg offers a laid-back lifestyle south of Muskegon.

Hoffmaster State Park directly north of town, featuring the Dune Climb stairway, a lakefront observation deck, and miles of hiking and skiing trails. This active community can be found soaking up the sun at North Beach Park, a sandy lakefront oasis. Ferrysburg provides easy access to Grand Haven State Park, offering 48 acres of sandy shoreline for swimming, sunbathing, and fishing — not to mention the historic lighthouse on the water. Even more historic sites and tourist attractions await in Ferrysburg’s neighbor, Grand Haven. For even more outdoor adventure, residents of Ferrysburg can travel north into the Huron-Manistee National Forests to camp, hike, and more.
