Potawatomi State Park

This is a beautiful state park to visit! There is a nice campground and we are very excited that the tower is now open again! Last time we were here, it was closed. The views from the tower were AMAZING! There are great hiking trails! We highly recommend that you visit Potawatomi State Park!

Great hiked the Tower Trail which included a beautiful view from the fire tower. Part of the hike is along the water and part through the forest. The fall colors were spectacular!

A hidden gem! We love this beautiful park with gorgeous wooded areas and a breathtaking view of the bay. The tower is definitely worth climbing to see the view of the surrounding area. They have plenty of restrooms, numerous trails and ample parking at different areas. It’s never as busy as Peninsula State Park because it’s not right in the middle of all the tourist spots- we love that!! Their camp sites look very nice, and we definitely plan to camp there in the near future.

Breathtaking views, long and well-maintained roads, and beautiful hiking. The newly renovated tower (reopened April 2025) offered incredible vistas over Lake Michigan. We plan to check out a campsite at some point in the future.

State park 5* Campground 1* This is a review of the campground. I've visited this state park several times, but my last visit was an unpleasant and depressing experience. The campground looked like a giant sawmill. There were cut-down trees piled up everywhere, as if ready for transport and sale. Besides its depressing appearance, this also deprives the campground of privacy and separation. When we come to a state park, we expect contact with nature, peace, and quiet. Whoever decided to cut down the trees and brush ruined this beautiful place. Furthermore, the restroom was filthy and disgusting. Potawatomi is still a beautiful state park and worth visiting, but I recommend avoiding campground.
