Overview

Negwegon State Park is a kitesurf spot located on the western shore of Lake Huron, in northeastern Lower Michigan. This state park is one of Michigan's least visited, offering a wild and isolated setting. Unpaved access roads and lack of infrastructure maintain a preserved wilderness character. Sandy and pebble beaches provide access to Lake Huron with wave conditions in east winds. Spot reserved for advanced riders due to isolation.
