About Lake Breeze Nature Preserve & Cedar Point County Park
There is no trail at Lake Breeze, but adventurous nature enthusiasts enjoy wandering through the forest of birch, pine, hemlock, maple, and oak. The preserve boasts some very large white pine and American beech, and huge rotting stumps can still be seen from when the area was last logged nearly 100 years ago. Together with a privately-owned conservation easement immediately to the south, Lake Breeze Nature Preserve helps protect more than 100 acres of coastal forest and wetland habitat from development. This property was originally purchased with funds pooled from a group of 18 families with homes in the Lake Breeze Association, wanting to prevent further development along Ridge Road. They donated the property to the West Michigan Land Conservancy in 1990. Preserve parking is available along Lake Breeze Drive in front of the preserve sign.

Cedar Point County Park is located on Ridge Road, on the border of Golden and Pentwater Townships. The park is approximately 205 acres and has steps to access 133 feet of sandy Lake Michigan beach. Paved parking and portable toilets are provided. This is a great park for picnicking and swimming. From [|Oceana County Parks web site]
