Water Recreation

Harrington Beach State Park

Boating, canoeing and kayaking

There is not a boat launch at the park. Users of small watercraft or floatation devices should be aware of the wind conditions on Lake Michigan. Strong west winds can blow watercraft away from the shoreline. Parents, watch your children at all times. Rubber rafts and other boats require personal floatation devices.

Swimming

Swimming in Lake Michigan is a sure way to cool off during a hot day. Please use caution. The lake can be dangerously cold, so use good judgment in deciding whether to swim and, if you do, how long to stay in the water. No lifeguards are present.

Swimming and boating are not permitted in Quarry Lake or Puckett's Pond.
