Explore Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering at the Park is a great way to make new friends, have fun and learn more about the Park and Lake Michigan. Opportunities include Park Ambassador, Volunteer Naturalist, Citizen Scientist, Lakeshore Caretakers, & Special Events.

The beauty of Lakeshore State Park never stops amazing me. The impeccably maintained bike path connects to the Hank Aaron trail to the south and Oak Leaf trail to the north and makes riding a breeze!

I love coming out on the ice in the early mornings. Great fishing year round! Really a hidden gem as far as I’m concerned. I’m hooking brown trout, smallmouth bass, and steelhead regularly…
