Awesome historical stop. The blockhouse is cool to check out. Bit of a hill to get up to it, but do it! Good for your glutes. Not much of a view once you are inside it. Trails all over.

Hiked a bit down to Lake Michigan and back about 1.25 miles. Be ready for some sandy spots along the way.

I have been visiting since the early 60s. Born in Muskegon. Wasnt there a historical placque at the site explaining the structure? It would be nice if there was one.

My family is local I am not. I have been coming here for visits from time to time. Very cool place when fall colors are in full transition. I too wish there was more background history info. Some idiots started a fire in it at some point. Big sheet of plywood covering the damage.History of the site is on a plaque at the parking lot

My parents took me here when I was growing up and I loved it. A few years ago I brought my own child there, although she was too young to really remember it. Went back this summer with my children and was really disappointed, the view was only of trees on all sides. Also, they took down the signs that stated which direction you were facing. It was a lackluster visit. The only good part of the visit was seeing all the graffiti removed from the walls, it looked much cleaner and less run down.

Recreation of a block house. View was nice, size of the logs used interesting. I wish there was more history told at the site, however.

I went on a very hot day. The inside of the house was cool and breezy. The place was clean and well maintained.

A great historical replica fort that I have been going to as long as I have been alive. It as take some abuse from people who do not appreciate the uniqueness of it and the great outdoors that this area has to offer. A great place to bring anybody who wants to see a great view of the surrounding area.

Beautiful stop on my #DiscoveryMichigan tours in Muskegon State Park. Its the highest point in Muskegon County. This is a recreation of the 1930s original, which burned to the ground in 1962. The original was build part of President Roosevelts New Deal in the CCC - Civilian Conservation Corps.
