W.F. Memorial Hart-Montague Trail State Park
"Montague is one of the trail's main endpoints, making it a natural starting point for rides and walks. Visitors also enjoy the town's shops, parks, and waterfront access."
This linear state park is one of Michigan's most popular multi-use trails, linking the communities of Hart, Shelby, Rothbury, and Montague. Visitors come for easy cycling, family walks, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling, along with access to nearby beaches, lakes, and local dining.
Mears State Park
"Montague visitors often head north for swimming, beachcombing, and a relaxed coastal day. The park offers a straightforward Lake Michigan outing without a long drive."
Mears State Park offers one of West Michigan’s most popular public beaches, with soft sand, a long shoreline, and views of the Pentwater Channel. Its location next to downtown Pentwater makes it a convenient base for beach days, shopping, dining, and lakefront relaxation.
