  • Harvest Festivals Celebrate the Fall Season

    It's not too early to start planning to join the fun at a Harvest Festival at your favorite state park or recreation area. Specific events and activities will vary by park, but costumes, decorations and yummy treats are always planned. Check to see when your favorite park will be hosting a Harvest Festival and make your reservation today!


    Firewood, Emerald Ash Borer, And What You Can Do To Help

    It’s only a little green bug. But the destruction it can cause is truly remarkable. According to a park ranger at Warren Dunes State Park, "After the trees were cut down, it looked like a bomb had hit our campground."


    The Folk School at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park

    The primary philosophy of the new Porcupine Mountains Folk School, sponsored by the Friends of the Porkies, is to embrace learning for learning's sake. Classes promote the preservation of knowledge, ideas, stories, and arts and skills of both the past and present, and emphasize learning through hands-on experience, conversation, reflection, and, of course, lots of practice.


    Now Open in Iron River...

    You've requested it and we've listened. Your new camping reservation service center is located in Iron River, Michigan. Look for more about the new service center in the December issue of Inside Michigan's Great Outdoors, your Michigan State Parks e-newsletter.
