Kruse Park Lake Michigan Beach

Beautiful beach side park with boardwalks or walk down the smaller dunes to the beach. The sand is beautiful & the views are gorgeous!! Dogs allowed too.

A great place to park pay at the kiosk or get a ticket and hit the beach if Pere Marquette is too busy. Take a walk up into the dunes via the boardwalk. The steps in the adjacent park full of covered pavilions perfect for bday parties and reunions are to the left of the kids playground. There are over 60 steps before there's a bench fair warning! The playground is pretty big and good for kids most ages. Restrooms are unlocked and clean during the beached open season. Be Mindful of leaving food out there are many critters running through these woods all too comfortable with people. Playground: Outdoor playground full of slides, swings, monkey bars, and ladders good for most ages. Restrooms: Handicapped friendly Picnic area: Covered picnic tables that fit a rather large group. Also wheelchair friendly.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to walk and let the dog play. Clean too.

Beautiful views, it's unfortunate that the boardwalk was left in the condition it was, and no longer is safe for people to enjoy. Maybe they can fix it with the money received through the money from parking passes. That seems like a fair idea.

Beautiful beach. There are two entrances - one closer to the dog friendly area, and one with a park and bathrooms, etc. You do have to pay for parking at the electric kiosk now. The dog entrance has a wooden boardwalk that stops at a pretty steep sand dune that you will have to walk down, and back up to leave. Dogs and little kids can manage, but if you're carrying a bunch of stuff or not in good physical condition it is fairly difficult to traverse. Dogs are allowed off leash so prepare to be dog-friendly whether you brought yours or not! Dog-friendliness: Dogs allowed off-leash. They are often running free up and down the beach and will be in your area so cover your snacks.

Nice little beach area with a boardwalk leading down. Part of it was closed off due to disrepair and would love to see it fixed, a shame that it's degraded that far without attention. Trail across the top of the dunes and a good overlook. Found a lot of the tiniest shells I've ever seen and walked a little ways down then up the dunes/cliff in a few places, quite a workout but super fun coming back down. Great place to spend a day, relaxing and wasn't overcrowded when we were there.

I looooove taking my dog here! They have a nice family beach and they have a spacious section for dogs to play on. My beagle loves running up and down the dunes and into the water. It's usually never busy or loud. Only bad thing I've ever experienced was other peoples dogs who were a bit aggressive running around, but I've only experienced that once in my 5+ years going there.

Beautiful Muskegon beach that is dog friendly.

Nice park to visit and walk around. Unfortunately Lake Michigan is really high right now and the beach is flooded. I loved the black sand that was there! Looked so pretty swirling around. Kids had a blast trying to climb the edge and splashing around.

If you got a fur baby that great around other dogs and people bring them to Kruse Park! Beach access, with a beautiful board walk that leads up along the bluffs of Pier Marquette Beach. Just remembered respect the beach and other to please pick up after your furry companion!
