Amazing place to just chill if you want to walk around and still have the nature effect

Park includes small lake and water worriers in the same lake. Lake shore was kind of small so it could get very crowded quickly. Park requires park pass but from the size of the lake shore it doesn’t seem reasonable. There are some trails to hike which were medium compared to parks in the area. I did enjoy scenery while driving. I would not recommend this park, for 11 dollars I could get more for the money elsewhere

went for the disc golf. an absolutely beautiful course and park. difficult course, but i enjoy the mild hike that comes with it and the scenery lol

Was excited to experience the trails but it was constant gun shots from the range nearby. This not only disturbs guests out for a quiet hike with their dogs but also the wildlife. Its constant. Ranges should be indoors and away from wildlife.

A big thank-you to Park Rangers, Casey and Tony, at Bald Mountain State Recreation Area for their assistance in plowing one of their trailhead parking lots on December 10, 2025!! We had just received several inches of snow and there was no way my car would have got out of that lot. Their quick action to assist me is greatly appreciated since I had an event to attend in Rochester a short time later and thanks to their help I made it on time!! A great job, fellas, and the Michigan DNR is fortunate to have you both.
