Van Buren State Park is Growing, Adding 17 Acres
Erosion often shrinks property along Lake Michigan, but Van Buren State Park is expanding, thanks to a partnership with the Michigan DNR.
A few miles south of South Haven, you ll find the Van Buren State Park along a scenic mile of Lake Michigan shoreline. People love the Lake, the camping and the dunes. Now, there will be more to love as the State Park has just annexed the Northpoint Conservation Area. This seventeen acre parcel of land sits just to the north and boasts significant natural, scenic, ecological, biological and recreational assets, says the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Now, the DNR has signed a 25-year lease with Van Buren State Park to manage the entire parcel.
