The Benzie County Parks and Recreation Committee manages some of Michigan's most pristine outdoor spaces within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore region. Their parks provide direct access to towering sand dunes, crystal-clear inland lakes, and miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. Well-maintained trails wind through diverse ecosystems, from beech-maple forests to coastal wetlands. Each park includes essential amenities like restrooms, picnic areas, and parking, making them perfect launching points for dune climbing, swimming, or photography. The committee's thoughtful stewardship ensures these natural treasures remain accessible while protecting their ecological integrity for future generations.
