Holland State Park

Holland State Park is best known for sugar sand beaches, beautiful sunsets and views of the iconic "Big Red" lighthouse. The park is home to two popular beaches, campgrounds, concessions, a new playground and connections to non-motorized trails.

Activities:

Boat Rental: The Macatawa Boat House, located across from the Lake Macatawa Campground, offers stand-up paddle board, canoe and kayak rentals

Fishing:
The pier and ADA-accessiible walkway along the north side of the channel near the park entrance provides an excellent place for shore fishing. In addition, there is a boating access site located one mile east of the park that accesses Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan for those wishing to fish from a boat. Charter boat services are available on Lake Michigan.

Hiking:
There is an approximate one-mile hiking trail and dune walk (with stairway) that takes visitors to the top of the Mount Pisguah sand dune (there is no access to Lake Michigan). In addition, the Ottawa County bike trail runs through the park and connects visitors to more than 25 miles of paved trails and roads that are also perfect for walking.

Paddling: The Macatawa Boat House, located across from the Lake Macatawa Campground, offers stand-up paddle board, canoe and kayak rentals. While there is no boating access site located within the park, there is a boat launch located one mile east of the park that accesses Lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan

Pet-Friendly Area: Our pet-friendly beach is located in the Lake Macatawa day-use area directly across from the Lake Macatawa campground. It is a short distance east of our swim area and the boat rental concession. Dogs do need to remain on their leash (even in the water) and owners are required to clean up after their pets. The area is signed and a trash can is provided for dog waste.

Swimming: There are two designated swimming areas in the park, including the beach on Lake Michigan and the beach located on Lake Macatawa across from the campground. The address for the Lake Michigan beach is 2398 Ottawa Beach Road, Holland, Mi.
