Otsego Lake State Park is located south of Gaylord, Michigan and offers 62 acres of a natural playground along Otsego Lake. The park includes a half-mile long white, sandy beach, with the remainder of the park shaded by large oak, maple and pine trees.
Established in 1920, the land the state park would reside on was purchased from a lumber company who had just completed timbering operations. The first improvements to the site began in 1935 when the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built several structures and made improvements to the grounds.
Directions
From Interstate 75, Otsego Lake State Park is accessible from Exits 270 and 279, and is located along Old US 27 south of Gaylord.
