Set on the southern shore of Saginaw Bay, Bay City State Park offers cyclists a scenic destination with lakeside views, wildlife-rich wetlands, and easy beach access. The park protects the Tobico Marsh, one of the largest remaining freshwater wetlands on the Great Lakes, making it a prime spot for birdwatching and quiet explorations through oak savannah, meadow, and marsh. A modern campground provides a convenient overnight option for bike tourers, with hot showers, shaded sites, and quick access to trails and the shoreline.
