Looking for something off the beaten path? Muskegon has plenty of hidden gems waiting to be discovered! From Whitehall to Fruitport, there’s something for everyone. ### **The Blockhouse** Located in Muskegon State Park, the Muskegon Blockhouse is a historic replica of Fort Dearborn. Visitors to the Blockhouse can enjoy scenic views of Muskegon State Park and Lake Michigan from the highest point in Muskegon County. Elevated atop a hill is provides one of the most stunning panoramic views in the state. This full-size replica of Fort Dearborn was conceived as a make-work project in the depths of the Great Depression; originally built by the Civil Works Administration (CWA) in 1934. It was destroyed by arsonists in 1962 and rebuilt in 1964. When originally built the National Park Service stated the Muskegon Blockhouse to be “A graceful salute to the days of the Frontier! For the pleasantly dishonest authenticity of this new-old blockhouse we are indebted to the salvaged timbers of a wrecked lake vessel. This lookout inspires recall of vanished men and vanquished wilderness – a shrine to the Unknown Pioneer.” It is free to visit the Blockhouse, but the interior is closed for the winter season.
