Burt Lake State Park is a public recreation area covering 406 acres (164 ha) on the south shore of Burt Lake at Indian River in Cheboygan County, Michigan. The state park features over 2000 feet of sandy shoreline, swimming, boating access to the Inland Lakes Waterway, fishing on the Sturgeon River and Burt Lake, and camping facilities. [4]

History

The park site was first purchased in 1920, with additional parcels acquired through 1939. [4] It was among 13 parks established in 1920 following the creation of the Michigan State Parks Commission a year earlier. [5]
