About
The park in Livingston County has an " up north" experience that doesn't leave southeast Michigan. The terrain resembles a patchwork of open brush and a mature hardwood forest. Island Lake is the only port that can handle balloon vessels. In the early mornings or late evening, balloons can take off.
