Algonac

Algonac State Park sits along the St. Clair River in southeastern Michigan's Clay Township, offering visitors sweeping views of passing freighters and the Canadian shoreline. Established in 1924, the 1,450-acre park occupies a landscape shaped by ancient glacial lakebeds and serves as a gateway to the waterways connecting Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair. The park is especially popular for bird watching during spring and fall migrations along the Lake St. Clair flyway, and its wetlands support a remarkable diversity of plant and animal life. Algonac provides a rare combination of riverfront recreation and prairie habitat restoration within easy reach of metropolitan Detroit.
