Harrisville State Park features a campground and day-use area nestled in a stand of pine and cedar trees along the sandy shores of Lake Huron. The park is within walking distance of the resort town of Harrisville. Established in 1921, it is one of Michigan's oldest state parks. The original park area consisted of six acres, much smaller than the current 107-acre size. It also offers a picnic area & pavilion, two mile trek hiking trail as well as non-groomed cross-country trails, and a metal detecting area.

Harrisville State Park is within a short drive of several popular area attractions. Among them are the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse and Museum, the resort town of Harrisville and Negwegon State Park. For art and music lovers, there is a summer concert series on Wednesday nights at the harbor and a Labor Day Weekend Art and Music Show in the town of Harrisville. The park holds an annual sand sculpture contest on the last Saturday in July.

The park does not offer any facilities for boating or fishing, but a DNR boating access site in Harrisville allows direct access to Lake Huron's tremendous offshore fishing opportunities.

Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

December 10 My family had a great time while here.

This guy Frank gives a Monarch Butterfly program, and we loved it. You even get to tag the butterflies as they head to Mexico

July 29 Outstanding by Dave

Beautiful park. Paved bike and walking trails, clean sites, restrooms and showers, beautiful beach, crystal clear water in Lake Huron, doggie beach. Magnificent.

June 8 One of the Best State Parks in Michigan by Roseanne

I say one of the best because I have not been to all the State Parks but I have been to at least 20 of them. Out of the 20, this is #1 by far. Beautiful Park. Very clean. Nice beach. Short walk or bike ride into the little town. Everyone in the park and town very friendly. We go to this park at least 2-3 times per year.
