Offering 7 Diverse Parks In Mid-Michigan! |
Welcome to the Mecosta County Parks!
Located halfway between Kalamazoo and Traverse City, Mecosta County is an outdoor recreational paradise with over 100 lakes, rivers and streams, including the mighty Muskegon River. The parks are located throughout the county and all of the Mecosta County Parks are waterfront properties where you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking, and a variety of other fun activities. Our newest addition, is the 47-mile natural surface trail around Hardy Pond known as Michigan’s Dragon at Hardy Dam. The trail is currently under construction, with over 24 miles completed.
If you enjoy the outdoors and are traveling through the area, stop by and visit our gem of nature. We are less than two hours from Michigan’s metro areas and we would love to have you as our guest.
