About Traverse City State Park

East Bay Township land forms the setting for this 75-acre public recreation area, officially named Keith J. Charters Traverse City State Park. The grounds sit just outside Traverse City on Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay side, offering a relatively small footprint compared to many state holdings. It has operated as a public recreation area since 1920.

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