Bewabic State Park is a public recreation area covering 315 acres (127 ha) on the shore of Fortune Lake (First Lake), four miles (6.4 km) west of Crystal Falls in Iron County, Michigan. The state park's rich Civilian Conservation Corps history is evidenced by the CCC structures still in use.[2] The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its CCC-related architecture in 2016.[3]
