Brimley State Park is a public recreation area covering approximately 100 acres (40 ha) on the shore of Whitefish Bay at the far eastern end of Lake Superior in the U.S. state of Michigan.[1] The state park is located on the northeast side of the Village of Brimley, eleven miles southwest of Sault Ste. Marie. To help create the park, the Village of Brimley gave an initial 38 acres (15 ha) to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 1923.[3] The park offers an observation platform as well as facilities for camping, picnicking, swimming, fishing, and boating.[1]
