Survey: MI beaches ranked high for difficult parking spots
Planning a lake day? You might want to pack your patience. A new survey from Munley Law just named Michigan's three most infuriating summer parking lots!
Topping the list is the dune climb lot at Sleeping Bear Dunes in Glen Arbor, followed by Grand Haven State Park Beach and Holland State Park Beach.
