History

The park was created when Cheboygan County purchased an initial eight acres of abandoned land that had been a park created by the Detroit and Mackinac Railway.[5] The county added another twenty acres to that holding in order to reach the 28-acre minimum required for the establishment of a state park. All of it was donated to the state in 1923.[6]

Activities and amenities

The park offers camping, boating, swimming, and fishing and is skirted by the North Eastern State Trail.[4]

gollark: <@332271551481118732> Do you think I can find minoteaur contributors? All I need is people who know Nim/web stack, can somehow fit with my programming style, and who share approximately the same extremely vague vision.
gollark: Interestingly, according to heavpoot, the 34th version of minoteaur is to be rewritten in heavlisp 7.0 after it subsumes JavaScript.
gollark: All insanity can be bidirectionally mapped to an instance of heavlisp.
gollark: Heavlisp is isomorphic to insanity.
gollark: With the lessons learned from osmarkslisp™ it might even have working scope. Although this one also might. I haven't checked.
