Bay City State Recreation Area

In addition to year-round educational and recreational opportunities, this park is also home to a 3-acre enclosed playground, 3 three observation towers, boardwalks, viewing platforms, and more than 7 miles of trails to explore it all. Dogs are allowed for no additional pet fee; they must be current on vaccinations and rabies shots. Dogs may not be left unattended in a vehicle, camper, or a campsite, and they must be quiet, on no more than a 6-foot leash, and cleaned up after. Dogs may not be left outside tied up alone, and they are not allowed in park buildings or at swim beaches.
