Nature lovers should visit Deerfield Nature Park for hiking trails and disc golf. The local area also features several scenic golf courses and seasonal festivals that highlight the community spirit and history of mid-Michigan.
Who This Park Is Best For

This is one great place to be. Whether you want to relax and just enjoy being outside ,or if you're ready to have a fun filled day on the water or at the beach... The cabin was very comfortable and clean the bathrooms and showers are well taken care of the staff was friendly and helpful and the prices are right on allowing you to spend your money on fun. We rented a boat on lake George but later found out they could of brought it to us on lake Isabella. So no matter what you are in need of out of your vacation this place delivered...

Nice small lake, the kayak launch is great but there's a lot of bigger boat traffic so it's not the most friendly for non-motorized boaters. I'd recommend kayaking during non peak hours to avoid the traffic. There is an entry fee and it's a county park so the state park pass won't get you anywhere here but it's a nice park with a lot of amenities so the small fee is worth it.

Great family park with a clean sandy beach. The park offers pinic tables, charcoal grills, pavilions, vault toilets, volleyball and a updated playground. Water has a sandy bottom with some small rocks that are soft on the feet. $6.00 for a day pass as of July 2025. We enjoyed are day at the Beach and recommend you to try this Isabella county park, you will not be disappointed.

Nice campground...usually quiet. There are always inconsiderate campers...that don't respect privacy of rented camp spot boundaries or stated quiet times. I ran into that last night and packed up and left. It is nothing against the campground.
