VERSLUIS (19)

Versluis Park was created on the shore of a 50-acre man-made lake and designed to provide a fully accessible recreational experience.  Today, the Park features beach and swimming areas, playground areas, picnic facilities, horseshoes & volleyball, and a fishing pier, boating, and one-mile paved walking trail.  The sandy beach at Versluis Park is the perfect place to cool off during those hot days of summer.  It's great fun for the entire family with barrier-free access and clean restrooms. 

Young and old alike can catch their limit of fish from the fishing pier.  Barrier-free wheelchair access, safety rails and seating make for an enjoyable family experience.  A large variety of fish are found in Versluis Lake including bluegill, carp, catfish, crappies, gar and northern pike, large mouth, small mouth and rock bass, sunfish and walleye.
