Van Buren State Park is a 400-acre (160 ha) public recreation area on Lake Michigan four miles (6.4 km) south of South Haven, Michigan, United States.[2] The state park, which is maintained and operated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, is located in the southwest corner of South Haven Township and the northwest corner of Covert Township, just north of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. The Van Buren County–owned North Point Conservation Area is located directly north of the park. The park has forested sand dunes, camping, and a swimming beach.[2]
