    Beautiful hiking trails and scenic views of Lake Huron. Trails are groomed year round. Great place to take your dog for a walk.

    One of michigans hidden gems. Swim in Lake Huron, fish off the pier, or spend the day hiking along…read morethe shore or abandon quarry.

    Michigan's newest State Park…read more To start out with Michigan apparently wasn't ready for this addition. They have had 3 years and are still working on maps and signs for the park. Sheesh! That being said it is truly a beautiful spot for a state park. Great view of Thunder Bay. Crystal clear water. Lots of green trees. Besides being a great place to see Thunder Bay they also have sink holes. Here's where the lack of signage and maps falls in to place. Finding the initial trail is hard because there is no sign marking it. However you start walking it and eventually you come to a temp lamenated sign saying sinkholes that way plus a note about sign being temporary and permanent signs are being worked on. No further info about distances. So we walked along a rocky path that seemed like it was on another world until eventually the path entered a forest. After walking for at least a mile but was more like 1.5 to 2 miles we came to another sign saying sink holes 1 mile that way. So we walked even further till we came to a pathway cross roads with another temp sign pointing 1 way for Quarry or another way for sinkholes. After walking a little further we saw 1 final sign saying sinkhole in half mile. That seemed much further than a half mile from the 1 mile sign. After having walked so far we kept going. Eventually just when we were about to give up and turn around we found the largest of the sinkholes which was filled in with Crystal clear water. It was very pretty but there was no way to get down a very steep hill to get a better look at it. Also no more signage. No info about sink holes. No directions to the other sinkholes which arent filled in so you can see them better, Nothing. So then the 2 to 3 mile hike back to the Parking lot. I barely made it. 4 to 6 miles round trip without any warning that is how far away the sink holes are. That's crazy. Also for the most part the trail is in good shape but for crying out lound would some benches kill you. You need a place to sit and rest. The trail and sinkhole lake were pretty but not worth a walk that has become known as the Never-ending hike. The park overall is a solid 4 stars. The hike maybe 2. However add benches and maybe 4 wheeler rentals along with better signs and maps and could easily be 4 stars. Heck maybe it might bump overall to 4 1/2 stars. Rockport is worth a visit just beware what your getting into.
