Campers come back year after year to stay at one of the park’s three campgrounds. There are two trails that offer great hiking and, during the winter, snowshoe hikes and cross country skiing. Because the park is located on the east end of Lake Charlevoix, it’s a great place to sit on the beach or go fishing or boating.
