This is a very popular State Park in MI, located on a peninsula between Tawas Bay and Lake Huron itself. We used to take our kids here decades ago, and my, oh my, has this park improved. They have a brand new bathouse, lots of (now mature) trees, playground, a few short trails, a lighthouse, and two beaches. The beach on Tawas Bay is calm and warm when the wind pipes up. If you want some wave action, or it's really hot, head over to the beach on Lake Huron itself. Tawas Point lighhouse is also there in the park, with tours and, of course, a gift shop. The nearby town of East Tawas has a number of interesting shops to check out. Try A Different Blend coffee shop next to the harbor for very excellent, fresh, and different breakfast and lunch selections, and free WiFi too. A paved bike trail takes you from the park to East Tawas, only about a 20 minute ride. We like the sites around the outside the best. Now that all the trees have grown up, the sites in the middle seem a little small.
