Clean area, felt very safe. There is limited parking at the Beach side park (50 cars) (Not suitable for larger RVs and large trucks). If you are using the beach area, it is sandy and water shoes work the best or old tennis shoes. The boardwalk is handicap accessible and stairs to the beach. Great for getting your stroller and little one to the beach, , , but stroller not usable on sandy beach.

I really like this park but its beach is being washed away.But still very beautiful and the sunsets are great.

I love all the dogs here. Its also a lot cleaner than other public beaches. Out family had a blast. We will be coming back for years to come.

Nice park to visit and walk around. Unfortunately Lake Michigan is really high right now and the beach is flooded. I loved the black sand that was there! Looked so pretty swirling around. Kids had a blast trying to climb the edge and splashing around.

Nice park but no access to dog beach due to high water level. The beach is gone! Wind was blowing some 5-8 foot waves in which was nice to see.

Dunes and plenty of steps if you like to exercise

You have to pay to park for a length of time but i have always loved this park. Ive been coming here since i was a kid and its a beautiful view of the lake once you get up the boardwalk

Beautiful park that doesnt get a lot of pressure. Its a dog park, too and we love to watch the pooches take a swim!

Relaxing place and AMAZING views of Lake Michigan. Quite a hike to go up the stairs but SO worth it! We found a place to hang up some hammocks and enjoy the sunset.

The boardwalk is out because of the high Lake Michigan water. You can still get down to the beach, but the path is slightly steep. Always a beautiful spot nonetheless.

I live nearby this park and its very nice to walk on the boardwalks and view the sites, unfortunately not very friendly for disabled people to go up in the dunes but for many others it is a nice place to go and walk the dunes and take a swim.

This was a beautiful place, well worth the walking up the stairs to enjoy. Id definitely come back here.

This one of my favorites places within 50 miles of my house. I shouldnt be saying this but its a hidden gem for dog lovers who also love a beach. The boardwalk down to the beach is partially washed out, but can still get there. The beach is narrow because of high water but the beach is 100% dog useable. Until closing. I dont know the closing time but I would guess 11 pm.

Wonderful! It was so much more, than I ever could have imagined...

My doggo loves it. She went for the firsthand time this time.

If you got a fur baby that great around other dogs and people bring them to Kruse Park! Beach access, with a beautiful board walk that leads up along the bluffs of Pier Marquette Beach. Just remembered respect the beach and other to please pick up after your furry companion!

Good dog park.. the board walk is out.. so you have to walk in the sand to get to the beach. But thats what we were there for anyways...

Nice park,very clean and not usually packed

Nice park but it fills up fast so you really need to come early if youre planning a party. Plus you now have to pay to park and in my opinion this park isnt worth paying to park.

Beautiful spot on Lake Michigan! Dog friendly too!!

Awesome views clean and a safe family type spot. Beach erosion unfortunately is making access to the lake dangerous so its been temporarily closed at this location.

I loved it ,it was an awsome site come see youll love it your self

Awesome beach for Dogs and Humans, mostly for our loving fur buddies

I looooove taking my dog here! They have a nice family beach and they have a spacious section for dogs to play on. My beagle loves running up and down the dunes and into the water. Its usually never busy or loud. Only bad thing Ive ever experienced was other peoples dogs who were a bit aggressive running around, but Ive only experienced that once in my 5+ years going there.

Absolutely love this beach, its clean, usually not too crowded, and an all around great place to bring the dog in a hot summer day.

When we visited Kruse Park in June 2020, the sign clearly stated that the boardwalk to the beach was closed due to major erosion. This did not stop dozens of people from taking their dogs down to the beach anyway. I watched one man rip down part of a fence blocking the boardwalk, and it was clear others had vandalized areas meant to block access.The dog beach is about 18 inches wide and a muddy mess. The heavy foot traffic is clearly exacerbating the problem. Hope the city gets it under control.

I very beautiful and peaceful location! Lake Michigan is amazing! This is Pure Michigan!

I dont mind the pay to park (credit card or coins only- no bills accepted)...but all of the access to the beaches are closed off due to erosion. Boards are broken off so people can get through to the beach. Steep sand hills to climb down and many dogs allowed on beach making it not my favorite place:(

A nice park to bring your family and dogs for a day at the beach.

Playground is nice and theres covered picnic tables, but you have to pay to park now.

Beach and water were great. Stairs are closed. Gotta mountain goat the dune.

Lovely place to visit there is a beach and stairs to walk up a hill with and a park where you can grill and your kids can play at the park I definitely recommend coming to this place

I took my wife there so she could watch the sunset like an old fashioned date, even though she wasnt feeling 100%, she still enjoyed the view.

This place pretty much has everything-- a beach you are allowed to take your dog on and trails across the dunes on the left, and a boardwalk overlooking the water at multiple scenic sitting areas leading to BBQs you can use to grill with additional parking and more trails and dunes on the right, both bringing you to beautiful Lake Michigan and its squeaking, sandy shores.

Love love love this place! It was our first time in Michigan and it was also our first time at a dog beach and we absolutely loved every minute of it. Everyone was so friendly and our pup had a blast playing with other pets. We will definitely be back.

Excellent park!! Has a dog beach which is really cool!! Hopefully there will be a beach left after the storms & high water.

Just a phenomenal dog beach that is aways clean and has friendly dogs all the time to play with

It would be nice to see the people in charge of the parks held accountable for the disrepair and garbage

Summer 2020 the boardwalk to the beach is eroded and closed. However you can still access the beach by climbing down.

Signs were posted saying Dog leash required beyond this point and leash laws strictly enforced but about 50% of people do not obey this rule. People allowed their dogs to come up to our dog, one guy let his dog walk all over our blanket as we were laying it out, getting sand all over it. Smelled pot a few times. The water had green algeae in it everywhere and was kind of gross. Not at all what we were hoping for based on the reviews.

A beautiful lake michigan overlook close to food etc.

Always love taking the pups on nature walks thru the dunes! Its sad to see the corrosion on the dunes after this past winter though

Such a fun place to be a dog! I held my two Alaskan Malamutes birthday party here, and they and their friends had so much fun!!! :)

Awesome! Feels very safe and clean.

Love taking our dog to the beach here. Only go of you like dogs because sometimes a furry visitor comes to see you.

Well maintained. We come here to the same spot on the same day every year. We have never had issues. Always have a great time.

Kruse Park is a great place to take your family. The beach is a short stroll away. They offer a boardwalk to take you up into the dunes and enjoy some of the greatest views west Michigan has to offer. They also have pavilions with grills that are convenient for picnics, parties etc. As well, as a nice playground to entertain the kids. This park also has drink vending as well as on site restrooms..

Stunning Lake View from the DuneThis park offers beach access, a dune right at the beach, a spacious picnic area behind the dune, and best of all, a boardwalk and stair system with stunning views of the lake and beach.Nearby P.J. Hoffmaster State Park offers plenty of beach, hiking trails, and a lovely visitor center. But there are no elevated views of the lake there to rival the one at Kruse park.When we visited Kruse Park, the boardwalk to the beach was closed due to high water and erosion damage. But the picnic area was not affected, and the views from atop the dune boardwalk were not to be missed. Absolutely gorgeous!

Great place to take your furry best friend for a swim. The dunes are beautiful and the water is always so clean.

The best off leash dog area in West Michigan.

Loved being able to bring our dogs!

Beautiful spot right on the beach. Loved it

Five dollar fee if not from muskegon. High water makes for small beech. Board walk closed down to beach

This park is WONDERFUL!

Steps and a ramp will get you to the beach. Just be warned that it has a off leash dog park to the North. If you dont like dogs, this is NOT the beach for you! Pavilions available for family functions. Not bad, not bad at all for our 4 legged friends! The humans are cool too!

The boardwalks and stairs are nice, makes it easy to climb the dunes.

Pure Heaven Relaxing Natural Place...

Great place to watch the sunset!

I love taking our two dogs to Kruse Park! We go once a year and have a blast! The dogs run around off leash, splash in the water, and play with other dogs. I noticed when I go out about 50 to 100 yards in the water away from the beach I can see clearly to the lake bottom. I feel like I’m floating in air when I do that. Give it a try you may love it :)

Good beach to bring your dog.

Breach access is dangerous but boardwalk is still awesome!

Absolutely beautiful beach to bring your dogs. Lots of area to hang out not only in the sand and but walk as well. There is one bad thing about this place- the parking lot is sketchy. Without going into details several cars came and parked, no one got out. My overactive imagination was confirmed when a police car drove through and parked at the end where he could view the entire lot. When we left a second police car showed up and drove through slowly making several laps.

Great location loved the scenery

LOVED this place. Great exercise for my puppy. Great scenery. Friendly people everywhere. Absolutely amazing. Will be making the hour long drive often just to come back :)

Board walk was closed, very steep access to the beach. Lake Michigan had a lot of water, nearly no beach available when we were.

We love bringing our dogs here!

I love hiking and taking photography here!!!!!

Very beautiful views, small beach but best look out point in area

Beautiful clean water, not too busy!

Beautiful trails and beach access.

My favorite place on lake Michigan to take the and let him get in the water (they have a dog beach). Or take a walk over the dunes on their built paths. There is another area that has restrooms, pavilions, and play set area!

Beautiful park on Lake Michigan with a dog park on the lake. My dog loves to swim and this is his favorite park.

Very nice dog beach.

Awesome place for a family with a dog!

Very nice place to get a walk in. However the only thing that bothered me was people to not keep their dogs on a leash other than that I give this place a thumbs up.

So beautiful

Beautiful and clean.Cant wait to go there next summer.The walkway is amazing.

Nice park on shores of Lake Michigan

Nice and clean and breezy

Great place for family get together!

Access to a dog beach-DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH!! It is city ordinance. many steps to climb that over look lake Michigan on both the dog beach side and near the playground. Allows you to escape the city feel.

Beautiful beach, amazing views

City of muskegon needs to fix the walkway down to the dangerous

If youve never been to this County Park its very quaint very large and it has Pavilions picnic tables wonderful beaches great views of the lake and this is one of the very few places that they have a designated section so that you can take your dog! And if you dont take a dog its great to watch other peoples dogs cuz the dogs really get into playing in the water

Nice beach. Significantly smaller than in years past. Restrooms are the cleanest beach restrooms Ive ever seen. People keep control of their dogs for the most part.

Being from Florida, it was nice to see that Michigan too has beaches! But what we dont have in Florida are the huge sand dunes! They are fun to go down, but coming back up is a killer! The park was nice, so was the pavillion. I would definitely recommend Kruse Park to anyone!

Beautiful Lake Michigan Shoreline

Got there during a storm. But, after the storm, we had the beach to ourselves. One of the only places I can take my pup and play in the water with him in Michigan. Great beach!

Enjoy the views of Lake Michigan and the wildlife from your car or hit the stairs for some exercise. Probably the best park in Muskegon to hit the beach and take in mother nature.

Great place to take your dog.

This place has some good walkways to view this park.

Very accessable place to lake Michigan to take your dog. Amazing views via the boardwalk through the dunes, even has benches to sit and take it the scenery.

Boardwalk CLOSED! How do you get to the beach?

Love out beautiful lake Michigan....this Park is awesome.... picnic area with pavilions and lots of tables...and an awesome play area .....

I love this dog park! So do my dogs! I also got a new puppy who is so excited to come back when its open for the summer again!

Great views

If you got a dog this is the beach to do to. Lots of boardwalk with stairs up thru the dunes to ware them out

Its a nice place in summers.

Great family park... Clean bathrooms... Awesome view... Good exercise....

Great Dog beach
