Ottawa Sands County Park’s grand reopening celebration is scheduled for October 17, 2024, at 4-6:30pm and will be free and open to the public. The park is located at 18280 North Shore Drive, Ferrysburg, MI.
Ottawa County is a beloved recreation hub along Lake Michigan. In recent years, a 345-acre former sand mine was converted into Ottawa Sands County Park. The park includes forested dunes, an 80-acre inland lake, and riverfront wetlands. The park remained closed through much of 2024 while extensive construction projects expanded and improved parking, restroom, and camping facilities at the site. Ecological restoration projects also created and improved habitats on land and in the water.
