Hoeft State Park is a heavily wooded
300-acre park with a mile of sandy, Lake Huron shoreline. The moderating effect
of Lake Huron causes temperatures to be less extreme during both summer and
winter and also causes up to two weeks delay in season changes compared to a few
miles inland. This was one of the first 14 Michigan State Parks. The original
property was donated by lumber baron, Paul H. Hoeft on January 2, 1922. A picnic
shelter still in use was built in the day use area by the Civilian Conservation
Corps in late 1930s. The campground consists of 143 campsites and a mini cabin. |
