Merrill Lake County Park is located on the southern shore of the beautiful 86 acre Lake Merrill. There are over 1000 feet of  sand beach with excellent swimming.  The park has 147 campsites, most with electricity and water. Modern restrooms and shower facilities are within the camping area. For your enjoyment you will find playground equipment, picnic areas, basketball hoops, volleyball, baseball and horseshoe pits. There are four shelters available. There are over 90 acres of park for your convenience and pleasure.

The park also offers frontage on a second  Michigan Lake, Gorrel Lake, a 30 lake. That means twice the opportunity for summer fun. The park is closed in the winter. Two boat launches, two swimming areas and twice the opportunity to catch dinner.

One may elect to rent one of the parks four Camp-n-Cabins, a 12 x 12 cabin with a 5 x 12 covered front porch.

A manager is on the grounds during the summer months.  For more information contact  Mecosta County Parks Commission at (989) 382-7158.
