Public Shoreline Beach-Indian Point

Michigan

About

Public Shoreline Beach-Indian Point is a beach on the Rapid River Ranger District of Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan, about 9 miles from the town of Garden. It is a shoreline stretch within the forest rather than a developed beach, so plan on it as a simple stop at the water's edge rather than a full-day visit with services. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July brings typical highs around 78°F and lows near 54°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Garden Corners. June and August run only slightly cooler. For an overnight base, Flowing Well Campground sits about 7 miles away.
