Name: Duck Lake State Park
Address: 3560 Memorial Drive, North Muskegon, MI, 49445

A popular day-use park in Whitehall, about one hour from downtown Grand Rapids, Duck Lake State Park is home to Duck Lake, a half mile of Lake Michigan shoreline and towering sand dunes. Pet-friendly!

A shallow channel connecting Duck Lake and Lake Michigan is perfect for water play with little ones. The park also features a boat launch, kayak rentals, a picnic area and shelter, and opportunities for swimming, paddling, fishing, hiking, hunting and cross-county skiing. Pets are allowed along the entire length of the Duck Lake and Michigan shoreline; they must always be on a 6-foot leash and under an owner’s immediate control. Roughly 7 miles of natural surface trails traverse a mix of forested sand dunes and open meadows.

All Michigan state parks require a Recreation Passport for entry. Nonresidents can purchase the Recreation Passport at any state park or recreation area or online at https://midnrreservations.com/store (allow 2-3 weeks for delivery). A day pass for nonresidents is $11, an annual pass is $40. Michigan residents can purchase the Recreation Passport by checking “YES” when renewing a license plate through the Secretary of State. You can also purchase the Recreation Passport by mail, kiosk, online at [www.expresssos.com](https://onlineservices.michigan.gov/ExpressSOS) or at SoS branch offices.
