Wabasis Lake Park
Wabasis Lake Park offers a wide variety of facilities in a very scenic setting on the shore of Wabasis Lake. Nestled among rolling hills and woods you’ll find a public beach, a four-lane boat ramp, various sports facilities, shelters and picnic areas available for rent, and trails with many lake views.
The park is home to a full campground with sites ranging from primitive sites to a rental cottage. Though close to Grand Rapids, Wabasis Lake Park has an “up north” feel that makes it an ideal getaway destination whether you’re visiting from nearby or are on an extended journey through the area.

Campground
The park also is home to Wabasis Lake Campground, offering 75 sites ranging from primitive to full hook-up, as well as three rental cabins and a rental cottage.
Fishing
The park includes 1.1 miles of shoreline on Wabasis Lake. The lake itself covers more than 400 acres and is nearly 60 feet deep at its deepest point. Fish found in Wabasis Lake include black crappies, bluegills, large and smallmouth bass, rock bass, pike and yellow perch. Much of the park’s shoreline is wooded or wetlands, but there are some areas that provide easy access for fishing, particularly north of the boat launch. The boat launch itself also provides easy access to offshore fishing.
Swim Beach
Wabasis Lake Park offers a large, sandy swim beach at no charge to visitors. Dogs are NOT allowed at the beach.
Playgrounds
Wabasis Lake Park offers four separate playground structures. One is within the campground and available to campers only. General park visitors will also find playgrounds at the beach, near the enclosed shelter, and near the open shelter, basketball court and ball diamond.
Sand Volleyball
Between the beach parking lot and the beach itself you’ll find a sand volleyball court, which is open for use on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sledding
Sledding is allowed on a hill near the entrance to the park.
Trails
In addition to connecting various areas of the park, natural-surfaced trails also provide access to scenic views and natural areas. The longest trail stretches about a half-mile, running between the beach parking lot and the spring house near the boat ramp.
