Crowded
One of the most popular state parks in Michigan- waits to get in during the summer can be long plus you may not even be able to get in- the park fills up fast so you have to get there early. Traffic down Ottawa Beach Rd can get bad. If the park is full, there are County Beaches at the end of most of the East-West roads north of the park.

| A boat launch is available one mile east of the park and provides access to Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan through the channel. These waters offer the angler a wide variety of fishing opportunities. The pier along the north side of the channel provides an excellent place for shore fishing. Charter boat services are available in the area to take people out on Lake Michigan. Ice fishing is a popular activity during the winter months. |
