Michigan Legacy Art Park offers an unparalleled experience of art, nature and history. More than 40 major works of art line 1.6 miles of hiking trails that wind through a 30-acre preserve of wooded hills. Founded in 1995 by artist David Barr, the Art Park inspires artists to create sculptures that interpret Michigan’s history. Located in Benzie County, the Art Park is a unique cultural and recreational destination. Visit often to discover new art, contemplate its meaning, and enjoy the natural beauty of Northern Michigan.
