Grebe Park

Beach, swimming, kayaking, biking, picnic area & boat launch facilities.

Grebe Park is the location of Arcadia's new self serve Kayak Rental Kiosk. Rent a kayak for a couple of hours and head out into the harbor, Arcadia Lake, or even out onto the big lake (conditions permitting) and look at a couple of the shipwrecks right near shore in our area. RentFun is the app to download in order to access the kayaks, paddles, and PFD's. You can check the App ahead of time to make sure there are kayaks available even before you get there.

Grebe Park also has a Borrow-a-Bike program. At the park you will find a rack full of bicycles that are provided by Arcadia's Parks & Rec Committee. The Arcadia village is a great place to explore on bikes. They are free to borrow, but that ask that you kindly return them to the rack when you are finished.

The M-22 corridor is known state- and nation-wide for being one of the most scenic drives in the U.S. Along its stretch, visitors will see trees and farmland, and lots of water.

With so much beauty, it’s understandable that visitors may have missed something great while passing over the small bridge, with Arcadia Lake to the west and Arcadia Marsh to the east. But this area is becoming more well known as state agencies and conservation organizations begin to spread the word of the wealth of natural resources accessible from Arcadia.

When a fisheries survey was performed recently by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, it was revealed that Arcadia Lake has excellent populations of walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and a variety of panfish, including bluegill, sunfish, yellow perch, and black crappie. Seasonally, cold-water fish like brown trout, steelhead, Chinook salmon, and coho salmon can also be caught from Arcadia Lake. For several years in the 1980s, Arcadia Lake even held the Michigan state record for brown trout with a 34-pound, 9-ounce lunker. Fed by springs and Bowens Creek, a cold-water trout stream, Arcadia Lake benefits from a municipal marina, boat launch and the open channel to Lake Michigan as well as Arcadia Marsh, a Great Lakes Coastal Marsh.
