Tawas Point State Park - September 14-15, 2025
We are excited to announce this year’s event is SOLD OUT! Information regarding our 2026 event will be announced this fall.
Join Michigan Cares for Tourism as we head to the sunrise side of Michigan’s lower peninsula for a volunteer experience, learning about and giving to Tawas Point State Park. Located on the end of a sand spit that forms Tawas Bay along Lake Huron, the park is home to 183 acres of lakeside recreation and has been referred to as the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.” The park is a stopover site for hundreds of migrating birds in the spring and fall, making it a favorite spot for many bird watchers from all over the Midwest. From the park, visitors can access the Tawas Bay Multi-Use Trails, part of Michigan’s Iron Belle Trail, along Lake Huron or explore nearby historical, natural and cultural areas along the Lumbermen’s Monument Auto Tour. The Tawas Point Lighthouse is also a fascinating attraction for maritime buffs.
…and that’s just the beginning! Register below to be part of this fantastic event!
Support Our Mission
Be A Volunteer
The FAM Tours! We provide volunteers a number of activities to participate in the day before our project work begins. Our volunteers have the opportunity to experience the local arts, culture, outdoor adventures, culinary options and enjoy sightseeing the local area.
Make An Impact
Based on the work required at the project site and the preferences of the volunteers during registration, we break into groups and work hard for 6-8 hours. Work could include painting, landscaping, brush clearing, trail maintenance, building bird feeders or benches or constructing fences or signage posts.
THANK YOU to all of our volunteers through the years!
