Muskegon Travel Guide

Visit Lake Michigan with a trip to Muskegon, the largest city on the lake with a buzzing downtown, and eclectic arts scene, plus all the activities of the lake and surrounding natural areas like bike trails, hiking and sports.

Things to Do in Muskegon

Pere Marquette Park is a white sand beach on the shores of Lake Michigan with over 27 acres of land to discover and explore. The sunsets here are incomparable and the sugar sand is idyllic. We highly recommend you spend time here simply doing nothing. When you feel like more action, you’ll be spoiled for choice with Muskegon State Park, complete with all sorts of winter sports activities like cross country skiing and ice skating.

Be sure pay a visit to the Musekon Museum of Art, Hackley and Hume Historical Site (restored homes of local Lumber Barons), Musekon Heritage Museum, Fire Barn Museum, USS Silversides Submarine Museum and many more interesting sites. Downtown is where you will find plenty of public art, and you can also wander the streets to find sculptures and other abstract pieces around town while enjoying all that the city has to offer.
