31 Years of Art, Nature & History
Discover for yourself the stories of Michigan’s cultural and natural history brought to life through art. Our 31-acre wooded preserve offers an art and hiking experience that is uniquely “northern Michigan.”
Think Spring! The 2026 Golf Classic fundraiser for Michigan Legacy Art Park is June 16, 2026.
Please hike safely and have fun. Trails are snow-covered, and are best traveled with snowshoes. Please stay to the side of groomed trails. Skiiers have the right-of-way.
Artwork
The fifty-plus sculptures in our permanent collection, as well as our rotating exhibits and poetry stones, connect visitors to our shared cultural and natural history.
Education
Hundreds of area students visit the art park on school field trips every day. Our Looking to Learn resources help teachers integrate the park trip with classroom learning in math, science, and history.
