Sandy Beach County Park

Per Consumers Energy, water levels on Hardy Pond will remain low until May 24, when they will be back to normal depths. In addition, water Levels may start lowering again on September 4, so we can not guarantee access to Hardy Pond from our docks or boat launch that date or after. Please take this into consideration before booking reservations before May 24 or after September 4th, as dock reservations will not be available. Thank you.

**To make sure everyone has a fair chance for a reservation, any unneeded online reservations will be charged the full cancellation fee. Call the Park office if you have questions or concerns about how to use the online reservation system, please do not overbook online**
