Norwood Township Park

Managed by Swim Drink Fish Canada - Great Lakes Guide

This quiet beach on Lake Michigan’s northeast coastline is the perfect place to stop for a delicious lunch on a sunny afternoon. Located just south of Fishermans Island State Park in Charlevoix County, this publicly accessible park spans 21 acres and offers portable toilets in addition to picnic tables. While no parking lot is found on-site, a wide shoulder on the side of LakeShore Road, just north of its intersection with Lake Street, offers motorists a place to park.
