About

West Side County Park Beach is a public lake beach in Michigan, about 4.7 miles from the town of Douglas. It is a simple stop for a day at the water, and the county park setting makes it an easy addition to a trip through this corner of the state. Summer is the warmest stretch for a beach visit. July typically brings highs around 80°F and lows near 66°F, and June and August run close behind, according to averages from a nearby weather station at S Haven. For time on the water beyond the beach, the North Branch Black River, a canoeing route, lies about 7.8 miles away.
