About McLain State Park
Lake Superior frontage defines this 443-acre recreation area on the Keweenaw Peninsula. The park lies on M-203 between Hancock and Calumet, and its shoreline offers views of the art deco-style Keweenaw Waterway Upper Entrance Light along with sunsets over the open water. Its position on the peninsula places it within reach of both nearby cities without belonging to either one.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
