Big Point Sable Lighthouse is also located in the park and is open to the public for tours.

Fishermen will find a boat ramp on Hamlin Lake and an abundance of Northern Pike, Bass, Walleye, Tiger Musky and Pan Fish.  In the spring and fall Salmon, Lake Trout, Steelhead and Brown Trout swim along the Lake Michigan shore and in the Big Sable River Imagebelow the Hamlin Lake Dam.


For a lazy way to spend a July day, bring a tube and float the Big Sable River to Lake ImageMichigan and afterwards enjoy a picnic along its shore.  When is the last time you did that?
