Reviews
"I really enjoyed the time I had here. There is soo much to see and explore, this is a very extensive recreation area. I will definitely have to continue to come back and explore. There are bike trails. Horse trails. Hiking trails. A lake. Many prairies. So much to choose from!"
"Ionia State Recreation Area has a nice, 3.65 mile easy to moderate hike around Sessions Lake. Make sure you follow the directions to the south side of the park to most easily find the trail. The trail is well marked overall. A little confusing in places where the trail intersects the disc golf course. The trail is not wheelchair accessible in several places, although on the north side of the lake, it is flat and either grassy or paved. On parts of the south side of the lake, a few areas have elevation changes of about 20 feet. Trails are well worn and maintained. We did step over a large downed branch. The one vault toilet used had no paper. The park map on the DNR website does not include much trail details, but you can pick up a map at the honor system payment shack or see the photo below. Photos include examples of trail markers and bridges. While we came Memorial Day weekend, this is a nice place all year."
"Pretty area, pretty lake. Here after school has been back on session do it's been quiet. Swimming area not the best, lots of green water... ew. The beach itself is nice. Lots of geese and seagulls."
"This is a big state park with some historical buildings. We came to get the state park centennial geocache, so we saw an old school house, and another historical building across the road. There is a big area for horse riding. There is also a beach area and a boat launch."
"Beautiful place to hike. They also have a disk golf course that we notice lots of people playing."
