St. Clair County, Michigan, United States

Algonac State Park is a public recreation area covering 1550 acre along the St. Clair River, two miles north of the city of Algonac in St. Clair County, Michigan, United States. The state park's half mile of river frontage offers a view of passing international freighters.

History

The park was established in 1937 with initial state acquisition of 373 acres of land. Over the next ten years, additional acquisitions increased the park size to approximately 980 acres. Park development began in the 1940s.

Natural features

Approximately 80% of the park (1244 acre) is undeveloped. The undeveloped portion encompasses significant lake plain prairies and savannas ("oak openings"), described as unique natural environments in Michigan. The park is home to 22 species of plants, birds and butterflies classified by the state as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.

Activities and amenities

In addition to watching freighters, the park offers shoreline walleye fishing, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, shooting range, picnicking facilities, playground, and hunting.
