Thompson's Harbor State Park is a 5,109-acre (20.68 km2) state park in Presque Isle County, Michigan. The park encompasses seven and a half miles of pristine, undeveloped Lake Huron shoreline. It provides a rustic retreat where hikers and cross-country skiers can explore 6 miles (9.7 km) of trails. Two rustic cabins are offered for overnight rental. The harbor is a great place to paddle, particularly in sea kayaks.[2] Thompson's Harbor State Park was designated a Michigan "dark sky preserve" in 2016.[3]
