William Mitchell State Park is a popular camping, fishing, and boating destination. The 660-acre park is situated between Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac, providing excellent opportunities to view a variety of wildlife. The quarter-mile Clam Lake Canal connects the two lakes. Under road walkthrough by canal to get from one lake to another. The canal is in the Guinness Book of World Records!
Located at the intersection of M-115 and M-55 on the west side of the city of Cadillac; 50 miles southeast of Traverse City, 50 miles east of Manistee.
Michigan Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry into state parks and recreation areas, state boat launches, state forest campgrounds, and state trail parking lots.
This was a beautiful experience. Nice campsite with modern bathrooms. It’s nestled in between both lake Cadillac and lake Mitchell. Both are within steps from the campground. Beautiful public beach access, boat docking and fishing spots. Will be back!!
Stayed at Mitchell this weekend.
Pretty much one word...peaceful.
Probably half full. One weekend after Labor Day. Very few small children. Very nice site, easy to back in our 35 ft. motorhome. We had nice weather, some sun, low 70s. We will be back.
We had a great time here. Restrooms were always super clean. Playground is nice and they have basketball and volleyball courts. Small beach is on the Cadillac side, Mitchell Lake beach is much bigger. We will definitely return!
Nice park. Mature trees for shade. Good biking around Lake Cadillac. Tasty beach on Lake Mitchell. Road noise is a bit much and the lots are packed tight. Bath house is brand new and nice. Recommend an end lot like we had.
This is a beautiful state park campground and beach. The bathroom facilities were not the most cleanliness but the beach was very nice. There is a channel the connects both of the lakes for boats to travel through and some nice fishing areas. This is a nice park and campground in Cadillac Michigan. Although we didn't camp here, the campground looked clean and there were lots of sites next to the lake channel.
