Hoeft State Park
Phone: (989) 734-2543
Hoeft State Parkis a heavily wooded 300-acre park with a mile of sandy, Lake Huron shoreline. The moderating effect of Lake Huron causes temperatures to be less extreme during both summer and winter and also causes up to two weeks delay in season changes compared to a few miles inland.
The campground is closed for winter. Information about winter camping opportunities is available on the DNR web site.
This was one of the first 14 Michigan State Parks. The original property was donated by lumber baron, Paul H. Hoeft on January 2, 1922. A picnic shelter, that is still in use, was built in the day use area, by the Civilian Conservation Corps, in late 1930s. In 1960, the campground was expanded from 66 campsites to its present size.
Location Take US-23 five miles northwest of Rogers City.
