Hawk Island Park

Hawk Island is a 100-acre urban oasis nestled in South Lansing, between Pennsylvania Avenue and Aurelius Road. When the weather warms up, the park has something for everyone. Visitors can rent a swan pedal boat, go swimming, splash around on the Splash Pad, or relax in the shaded picnic areas. For fitness enthusiasts and casual strollers alike, a 1.5-mile paved, accessible loop winds around the lake, offering beautiful waterfront views. The pathway connects to the Lansing River Trail as well for those looking for longer miles. The fun doesn't stop when the temperatures dip. In the winter, Hawk Island transforms into a Mid-Michigan snow-tubing destination, featuring a "magic carpet" uphill conveyor and snowmakers to guarantee thrills all season long. Afterward, you can defrost and cozy up in the nearby warming lodge. A great option to explore during downtime between sports events or for hosting events.
