North Higgins State Park
North Higgins State Park is a beautiful Michigan campground that makes one feel up north.
The Park
This beautiful campground has two parts in which you may camp. It includes electrical hook-ups and bathrooms. The campground sites are not sandy but instead are comprised of grass and dirt. The sites are also quite shady. The campgrounds, while a little ways from the beach, are more in the woods, this helps give it its up north feeling. Their is also a playground at this state park.
The Lake
This park is on the north of Higgins lake. It has a beautiful, sandy beach, and it also includes a boat launch. Higgins lake has very clear water and is shallow for a long way out. People swim in it; boat, ski, and jet-ski on it; and fish in it. It is a very versatile and wonderful lake!
