Turn left (North) onto 90th Ave and proceed 1/2 mile to park entrance on the left (West) side of road. Please remember our 10 mph speed limit.
Coming from the East on M-20 pass through Remus. Continue on M-20 until 9 Mile splits off to the left (South West). Get on 9 Mile and continue until the stop sign at the T-intersection at 90th Ave. The Park is directly across the street.
Coming from the West on M-20 to 90th Ave approximately 18 miles East of Big Rapids. Turn Right (South) onto 90th Ave and proceed about 1 1/2 miles. Park is on the Right (West) side of the road.

It will dead-end into the park. Please remember our 10 mph speed limit.
Directions to Paris Park: MAP US 131 to exit 142 (19 Mile Rd). At the off ramp stop sign turn East, proceed to flashing caution light at intersection of 19 Mile Rd and Northland Dr. Turn Left (North) onto Northland Dr. Approximately 4 miles come down the hill into Paris (speed limit drops to 50mph).

Directions to Haymarsh State Game Area Campground: MAP US 131 to exit 142 (19 Mile Rd). At the off ramp stop sign turn East, proceed to flashing caution light at intersection of 19 Mile Rd and Northland Dr. Turn Left (North) onto Northland Dr. Just over 2 miles down on the right hand side is Hoover Rd. Turn Right (East) onto Hoover Rd. Follow Hoover Road East until it curves into 180th Ave, turn Right (South) onto 180th Ave. (It isn't really so much a turn, more like Hoover turns into dirt, but the pavement curves hard to the right and turns into 180th. You should be on pavement the entire way into the park - if you hit dirt, you've missed a "turn" somewhere.) Follow 180th until you get to 21 Mile Rd. Turn Left (East) onto 21 Mile Rd. (Again, not really a turn so much as following the pavement.) Stay on 21 Mile Rd. You will stop at one 4-way intersection, there is a silo on the NE corner of the road and a small building on the SE corner. You're getting close! Go straight through the intersection, follow 21 Mile Rd. Be very careful and pay close attention to the road, there are some steep winding hills with curves. You will see the entrance for Haymarsh on the Right side of the road. Follow the dirt road (yes it's dirt now) until you curve around into the campground. Pick a spot and get registered!
From the exit off the highway to Haymarsh should take you less than 20 minutes. I know the directions probably sound confusing, but if you stay on the pavement it's pretty simple.
