Take I-75 to exit 326, go east straight through the town of Cheboygan to US-23, continue three miles east of town to park entrance on north side of the road.
Year-round adventures await at Cheboygan State Park. Explore the trout-filled waters of Elliot Creek, relax on the family-friendly beach or discover miles of scenic coastline. There are plenty of well-marked trails that provide access to scenic Lake Huron vistas and glimpses of rare wildflowers.
Uncover the park's history at the Cheboygan Point Light site. The site features the foundation remains of the 1859 lighthouse. This shore-based structure replaced an earlier, short-lived pier lighthouse built in 1851, and served under the United States Lighthouse Service until 1930, when the property became part of the state park.
Modern facilities are available here, located at the site of the old campground.
Northern pike, small and large mouth bass and pan fish can be found in the Bay. Little Bill Elliot Creek, which flows through the park, is well known for its speckled brown trout.
Metal detecting is allowed in certain park areas. Please consult the park map for designated locations and review applicable regulations. Only registered campers can metal detect in campgrounds.
Single and tandem kayak rentals are available at the campground office mid-May through mid-September.
Shelters can be reserved up to one year in advance by calling 1-800-447-2757 or visiting https://midnrreservations.com/.
