Pere Marquette Park

Yes

There us a dog park on the south end of the beach. You can not have your dog on the rest of the beach.

Yes they do. You will want to contact the Muskegon City Hall and go to there planning department. That is the department that handles any and all Park and playground equipment. I hope that helps. So don't waste your time trying to generally call City Hall and ask them to call the city hall and ask to speak to the planning department and someone there should be able to help you from there. Have a wonderful and blessed Adventure with your Memorial bench for the Pere Marquette Park. Update and let us know if you were able to get a memorial bench or not. Best of luck!

No..free parking at Pere Marquette Park. Good restaurant there too.. THE DECK

The sidewalk that takes you out to the Pere, runs through the beach. You should be fine.

It is chilly most months but you get used to it. In the hot months the lake warms up. You can take your dog right down the road to the dog beach and swim together there. It is called Kruse Park Dog Beach.

No. There's a parking lot to park in that's attached to the sandy beach.

$5 Daily Sun-Thurs, $7 Sat, Seasonal $20. Kiosks take credit/debit cards, quarters or $1 coins available at Beach Concession and Kite Shack. Also at Treasurer & Police Dept at City Hall. City Residents get 1 free annual permit living within city households.

Yes it's open but there's now paid parking.

Yes please do!

Lots of room to park. All depends on how busy it is if you are able to get the motor home parked. Just south of there is Kruse Park if you can't find room at PM.

I don't think you can stay over night but ppl did have tents up

No permit required . .

Haven't heard anything yet.

Pere Marquette Park is not gated. It is open year-round.

The Lake Express Ferry Service is about two or three miles to the East of this beach.

Not really

Yea

No,rocks

I think you can! But always check to see if you need a fishing license just to be safe. Not sure if they're required anymore there only about 12 dollars that I last remembered

Towards the lighthouse

It was packed last weekend

About 60 degrees

You would have to go to the State Park in Grand Haven and take a camp site to have a fire on the beach.

I believe there is a lost and found located in the ice cream shop next to the park in the same building as the changing rooms/bathrooms.

Swam at Pere Marquette on Friday it was just fine.

There's a parking lot. I would assume that if there's enough open spaces you should be able to park there. I think it depends on how busy the beach is.

Yes

Was a lot of beach when I was just there last week

Because you haven't been donating to the Repair and presavation of the pier

Definitely by July it warms up to swimming temps and usually most of June too, although this year (2019) it was too cold nearly all of June due to a very mild start to summer.

The Pere Marquette beach does close at 11pm but in all honesty I've been down there well past 11pm as it's right along a residential road and I usually see people goofing around on the beach. Last week (beginning of Aug 2018) there were a group of people having a bomb fire. Also, there's no gates or locks on the pier that you walk on out to the lighthouse either. I've lived here since I was 6yrs old and was a teen when it used to be a huge party spot, but now, over 20yrs later, the city has redeveloped the whole area and it's no longer a teen party spot and no longer a police hot spot.

We held a family reunion picnic at the park last Friday (8/9/19) and reserved the covered pavilion with a large grill. Clusters of picnic tables, all with grills, were in the same area. The picnic area is not on the beach. It’s a shady area near the Coast Guard Station with parking along the south side of the channel and has bathrooms, drinking fountains, and a lovely playground.

I saw a snack counter by the rest rooms. I don't go often, but seems it is open during popular times- in season and subject to weather.

Call Dockers marina bar/restaurant .... People dock there. Theres also an area by the canal between lighthouses where small sailboats and boats go. They anchor and set up water tables around evening.

No
