Walter J. Hayes State Park
Onsted/Irish Hills Area |
 |
|
Hayes State Park is one of the
system's oldest state parks.
Dedicated in 1920's, the park
originally was named Cedar Hill
State Park. The name changed when
the Hayes family donated land to the
park with the condition that it be
renamed to honor Walter J. Hayes, a
Michigan senator. The park has gone
through many changes, but the major
constant has been the attraction of
Michigan's visitors to the
recreational waters of Wamplers
Lake. |
