Hiking at Mission Point Lighthouse & Park

Mission Point Lighthouse is surrounded by five acres of wooded Township land and hundreds of acres of State land, all with miles of trails. Trail maps are posted in the park. The non-motorized trails at Mission Point Lighthouse can be enjoyed by anyone; from the avid hiker to a leisurely family day hike. Fat tire and mountain bikers, folks on horses use the trails too, as well as folks with friendly pets. Responsible dog owners can have their dog off-leash if under control. From spectacular views of the beach to deep forest trails, the park has something to offer for everyone. The trails are open to the public year around! The park closes at 10 pm.

Trails at Lighthouse Park are ideal for biking, running, hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or just taking in the scenery. Some of the trails are very old, and if you look carefully, you might be able to find a few old “Indian Trees” that marked the trails so long ago. (“Indian Trees” are those that were bent purposefully by Native Americans to mark the trails; they are typically quite obvious, as they have a severe bend that does not appear natural). Trails are marked and maps are posted at each trail head. Even in the winter, trails are well marked, assuring a safe and fun day trip.
