Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve — Attraction in North Muskegon

The paved flat path here is really nice. There are a couple of little rustic trail offshoots that offer fishing access on the water and the main path has access two different entrances to the boardwalk. The boardwalk is definitely suffering from the flooding in the area but when the multiple boardwalks are accessible there are a variety of fishing decks. The property offers two different look out decks that give nice views of the lake. It is a small to medium size preserve that feels safe to use as it is well loved and has medium foot traffic.

Update: the renovations are just wonderful and the boardwalk got the attention that it needed.

The area is dog-friendly, but there are lots of bikers and joggers and few points to pull off to the side if your dog...

Boardwalk is in poor condition in places & shoddily repaired. Park is being restored, so lots of heavy equipment, downed trees, bare dirt & dirt piles. The work being done is to remove invasive species, concrete, debris, etc, so I am glad they...
