The park has 1,000 feet of shoreline and is equipped with access roads, utilities, a wooded area, and scenic views of Little Traverse Bay. A small overlook area, known as “Wayside Park,” on the upper-elevation bluff adjacent to the bike path also provides excellent views of the bay. Free wireless internet is available throughout the campground.

In 2012, the City of Petoskey entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the North Country Trail Association that established Petoskey as a "Trail Town" of the North Country Trail. For more information, please visit www.northcountrytrail.org. The North Country Trail route through Petoskey includes the NCMC Natural Area, the Bear River Valley Recreation Area, and a section of the Little Traverse Wheelway. Magnus Park has easy access to these locations and makes a great base camp to explore the trail.
