Park Information: Lake Hudson
Recreation Area has 2,796 acres of recreational
opportunities around Lake Hudson. The park, which lies in southeast Michigan,
offers premier Muskie fishing and game hunting. The terrain is gently rolling
with a mixture of open brush land to mature hardwood forest, with some pockets
of open meadows mixed in. A new beach area provides an excellent place for
sunbathing and swimming.
Dark Sky Preserve: Since 1993,
Lake Hudson has been designated a dark sky preserve for learning more about the
night time sky. The goal of creating this designation was to show that
preserving night skies for enjoyment is fully compatible with other recreational
uses. Amateur astronomers should remember that Lake Hudson is a public park and
other legitimate night time recreation users may not share the same sensitivity
toward dark skies.
The Dark Sky Preserve Brochure explains in more detail what this unique
feature is about. Contact the park manager if you'd like to use the park
resources after 10 p.m. in any areas outside the campground.

Metal detecting is recognized as a legitimate recreation activity when it is

Michigan State Parks nor violate applicable state statues. If you wish to
use a metal detector in this state park,

items found must be reviewed by park staff and may be retained for further
