It’s the harmonic sound of nature, the sawdust smell of history, and the feel of wind zipping over your face.

Hear the rush of water powering a reconstructed sawmill as you experience a sawmill demonstration. Participate in the sawpit method of lumber production. Immerse yourself in nature trails and interactive exhibits. Climb a 50-foot tower. Play like a child beside your child or grandchild in the Forest Friends Play Area and at the Water Power Station. And then experience the adrenaline of the park naturalist-guided Adventure Tour, which includes the Eagles Flight Zip Line, Forest Canopy Bridge, and Nature Trail Climbing Wall. Located five minutes southeast of Mackinaw City.  Closed for the season.
