Confirmed from Lower Peninsula Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Frisbee golf spot, plus a boat launch and a dock.

My very first time here. Nice place to stop by during my bicycle ride. This will be part of my route now, from Neppel Landing. It's quiet. I guess not most goes here because it is tucked. Ample parking. With toilet. Few benches. No bbq pit. Maybe not allowed? You might need to check the local quidelines.
Very beautifully done! Lots of space for boating swimming and cement picnic tables. Great place to run and play around with your family! Dogs are welcome. Bathrooms are clean. Great views and very peaceful and serene.
I went to this place a lot as a kid. Things that have happened at this park were far from boring. Its a good open area for your dogs to run into the water, 2 open boat launches and pretty big parking lots.
Really it's a little bit more than a boat ramp. Good place to go jog or walk your dog or just enjoy the scenery of the lake, and of course launching your boat, but nothing much for the kids to play on so it's not a very kid-friendly Park.
