Michigan Parks Have Record Year

According to the Detroit News, 2015 was a good year for many parks in the state of Michigan and attendance records were broken at several locations. The National Parks Service says Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and River Raisin Battlefield Park both set visitation records in 2015.

And the most poplar national park in Michigan? Well, that honor goes to Sleeping Bear Dunes, a 35-mile stretch of Lake Michigan’s northeastern coastline, which attracted more than 1.5 million visitors this year, compared to nearly 1.4 million for 2014.
