Bird Creek Park — Attraction in Port Austin Township

It was very nice here. We came for the Port Austin fireworks which were pretty much right in front of us so that was great we ended up in a good spot for viewing. The park was not a far walk from shops and restaurants. There was a boardwalk with some covered picnic tables and loads of shoreline to set up on. There's a lot of seaweed at the beginning of the day which made it a little tough for swimming. But closer towards the end of the day the seaweed seem to have washed up onto the shore. Not too far out from the shoreline was a lot of rocks be careful I'm not sure how far they went out I didn't go out too far in the water. Overall it was a great time they have a shower but it is activated by quarters which I thought was kind of strange. The restroom seem to be nicely maintained although it was a little old.

I would say you need moderate physical ability to make the trip up there and you will want to go early in the day because it is hard to navigate at night. Thank you to the people maintaining this park you are doing...
