Roadside Park Consistency
Michigan has 80+ MDOT-maintained roadside parks and scenic turnouts, spanning both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. They are found on state and US highways, and typically are seasonal, open Apr-Nov. Usually found at a scenic natural feature, they provide parking, and most provide toilet facilities and picnic areas. These are not Rest Areas(see the Rest Area wiki page). The State of Michigan maintains a list of MDOT roadside parks here.
Park Area Place

- The proper name is the official MDOT name, found in the link in the opening paragraph.
- Example: "Michigamme Roadside Park"
- Include any relevant info (such as "Closed for winter, only open Apr-Nov"), and a (concise) description using text from MDOT.
- Use www.michigan.gov/mdot for the website, and MDOT main contact for the phone number.
