About Onaway State Park

Recognition on the National Register of Historic Places came to this site in 2009, marking its built structures as historically significant. The 158-acre grounds sit on the southeast shore of Black Lake, where sand and cobblestone beaches meet large rock outcroppings. A campground and a nature trail wind through a mix of tree species, and the park lies at the end of M-211, five miles north of Onaway.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
