General Description

Charles Mears State Park is located in the quaint village of Pentwater along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Paved campsite lots are surrounded by fine sand, and a beautiful swimming beach is adjacent to the harbor pier. Along the northern border of the park is "Old Baldy", an excellant example of a Backdune ecosystem. The existing park land was once owned by Charles Mears, an early settler of Pentwater. The land was donated to the State of Michigan in 1923 by Carrie Mears, the daughter of Charles Mears, one of West-Michigan''s great lumber barons.
