Since the addition of Ottawa Sands to the county parks system was unexpected, funds are not available for its immediate development. Ottawa County Parks submitted a grant to the Coastal Zone Management program for funds to initiate a master plan for the site, including an inventory and analysis of the site's natural features. It would also determine the feasibility of the site for recreation facilities, including lake and riverfront access and camping. The grant would provide $30,000 with an equal match from Ottawa County Parks. For more information about development, please click here.

Since the addition of this property to the county parks system was unexpected, funds are not available for its immediate development. For now the site will remain undeveloped.
The trails are marked very well and Trail 8 takes you by a Bald Eagles nest and at times the Bald Eagle can be seen roosting in a nearby tree.
