Muskallonge Lake State Park
Michigan State Park · Newberry, Michigan
Muskallonge Lake State Park sits on a narrow strip between Muskallonge Lake and Lake Superior in the eastern Upper Peninsula, north of Newberry on a gravel and county-road approach. It has a campground, a long, wild Lake Superior beach and a quiet inland lake, so you can pick between calm water for children and a cold, wave-driven shore for walking and storm watching. This is a remote stretch of coast: the nearest groceries and fuel are in Newberry, and the drive in can be slow on gravel and county roads. The Tahquamenon Falls and Whitefish Point areas are within a reasonable drive, and each is its own destination. The water is cold even in August, waves can be big, and black flies and mosquitoes can be heavy in early summer. It suits campers, beachcombers and anyone wanting a quiet, uncrowded Superior shoreline. Confirm campground size, reservations, fees and the boat launch before you go.

The park is normally open year-round for day use, with the campground open mainly in the warm months and reservations strongly advised for summer weekends. Confirm the camping season, the office hours and whether any winter facilities, such as snowmobile access, are open. Road access in winter depends on plowing and snowfall, and the Upper Peninsula can bring heavy lake-effect snow, so check conditions before you drive. A Michigan Recreation Passport is generally needed for day use. There is no guarantee of food or fuel nearby, so fill your tank and buy groceries in Newberry or earlier, and carry a paper map in case the signal fails along the lakeshore.
