About School Section Lake Park

School Section Lake Veteran's Park is a Mecosta County park that blends local history, lakeside recreation, and camping. Its main draw is a large sand swimming beach beside a historic fieldstone concessions building. An original one-room schoolhouse on the grounds hosts summer educational programs. The park also offers a secluded Family Group Camp for larger gatherings, rentals for paddling and paddleboats, a stocked lake for fishing, wooded trails, and courts and fields for games. The county describes it as the most family-oriented park in its system and says it hosts seasonal programs, events, and arts and crafts.
