01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor brings shoreline nature into an urban setting. Its white lighthouse is 63 feet, about 19 meters, tall and echoes the design of the Tawas Point lighthouse. Harbor views, planted wetlands, and views across the river to Canada make the park a varied stop. The Riverwalk provides an easy continuation beyond the park itself.
