McLain State Park is a 443-acre public recreation area on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula along Lake Superior between Hancock and Calumet. Known for expansive lake views, sunsets, and offshore views of the Keweenaw Waterway Upper Entrance Light, it developed in part through land secured by Houghton County commissioner Frederick J. McLain in the 1930s and early construction by Work Projects Administration laborers during the New Deal era. After M-203 was relocated in 1965, the park gained a new entrance and contact station. Today it offers year-round recreation, including fishing, picnicking, hiking, skiing, camping, cabins, swimming, and access to both rocky shoreline and the sandy Breakwaters beach.
