according to the Michigan.org website:

"Surrounded by Great Lakes and rich in natural attributes, Michigan's two peninsulas are dotted with 97 state parks, four national and numerous municipal parks. In addition, six state forests plus nature preserves and refuges, gardens and arboretums provide plenty of opportunity for four season recreation and relaxation. Scuba divers can explore underwater preserves that protect numerous Great Lakes shipwrecks. Hike, bike, camp, fish, hunt, snowmobile, skate, swim and picnic. By land or sea, Michigan is good for you, naturally."

"Each summer, state park explorer programs are offered to campers and day visitors at 41 of Michigan's 97 state parks.

Armed with field guides, animal skins, bug boxes and other hands-on materials, state park explorer guides lead informal programs and hikes that feature each location's unique natural, cultural and historic resources."
