General Description

With an area of 9,672 acres, Hartwick Pines is one of the largest state park in the Lower Peninsula. The park''s rolling hills, which are built of ancient glacial deposit, overlook the valley of the East Branch of the AuSable River, four small lakes and unique timber lands. The principal feature of this park is the 49-acre forest of Old Growth Pines which gives the park its name. This forest is a reminder of Michigan''s past importance in the pine lumber industry as well as a source of inspiration for the future of our forests. The park is rich in scenic beauty and because of the different habitats it encompasses, there is ample subject matter for the sports person, photographer, or naturalist throughout the year. The park is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. year round.

The park features a modern campground with full hook-up sites. Michigan Forest Visitor Center is open year-round to the general public. The Logging Museum is open seasonally.
