Wilson Hill Park on Hamlin Lake

When visiting Upper Hamlin Lake, you’ll find that Wilson Hill Park is quite the popular place. You can enjoy a picnic at one of the tables under a covered pavilion, with grills available for use. There’s a small playground for kids and a port-a-potty. Upper Hamlin Lake is a beautiful area to visit, with many different lodging facilities, things to do such as boating & fishing, and even a restaurant conveniently located on the water!

Directions:

Coming into Ludington on US-10, take a right onto Jebavy Drive (the stoplight with Mancino’s on the corner). Follow Jebavy north until it turns into Barnhart Road — Wilson Hill Park is to your right.

Summer or winter, fishermen like using the boat launch at Wilson Hill Park- a perfect location that allows access to Upper Hamlin Lake. In the winter months, the park is a popular spot to get on the lake when it is frozen over for ice fishing or snowmobiling. There’s plenty of parking, with enough area for boat trailers. It’s also a good location to stop and take a break. With picnic tables to sit, grills to make a lunch, and a port-a-potty, Wilson Hill Park is a nice family park to visit when in the Upper Hamlin Lake area.

And during the Fourth of July week, Wilson Hill Park is one of the best places to view the annual Hamlin Lake Fireworks display.
