Long Skinny Park

Long Skinny Park is located on Lower Hamlin Lake between the South and Middle bayous. Perfect for fishing or taking in the view. This park is just as the name suggests…long and skinny with a few picnic tables and benches. 

South Bayou

A great place to launch your boat and head out onto Hamlin Lake, the South Bayou is an intimate park featured a couple docks for fishing or taking your boat out. Swings, grills, and picnic tables are also available just off the water. 

Ludington State Park

Within the Ludington State Park lies a beach that runs along the narrow section of Hamlin Lake that leads out to the dam. A perfect place for the family with a dedicated weed-free swimming area, concession stands, and more.
