Aloha State Park is a public recreation area located 6miles south of Cheboygan in Cheboygan County, Michigan. The state park covers on the northeast side of Mullett Lake at the center of the Inland Lakes Waterways.
The park was created when Cheboygan County purchased an initial eight acres of abandoned land that had been a park created by the Detroit and Mackinac Railway. The county added another twenty acres to that holding in order to reach the 28-acre minimum required for the establishment of a state park. All of it was donated to the state in 1923.
The park offers camping, boating, swimming, and fishing, and is skirted by the North Eastern State Trail. The trail preserves the roadbed of the railroad that set aside the parcel of land used to help create the park.
