Van Buren State Park is a 400-acre (160 ha) state park on Lake Michigan four miles (6.4 km) south of South Haven, Michigan, United States. The park, which is maintained and operated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, is located in the southwest corner of South Haven Township and the northwest corner of Covert Township, just north of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. The Van Buren County–owned North Point Conservation Area is located directly north of the park. The park has forested sand dunes, camping, and a swimming beach.




History


Van Buren was established in 1966 after purchase of the park's first 167 acres (68 ha) from the Harry LaBar Drake family in 1965. Two subsequent land purchases further expanded the park's boundaries.




Activities and amenities


The park offers swimming, picnicking, playground, and a 220-site campground.
