Petoskey State Park

Michigan, Emmet·Rockhounding

Petoskey stones may be collected at Petoskey State Park with no permit, but Michigan caps rocks and fossils from all state land at 25 pounds a year.

  • No collecting permit exists or is needed — a Recreation Passport is required only for vehicle entry
  • State land rule R 299.922(hh) caps removal at an aggregate 25 pounds per person per year of any rock, mineral specimen or invertebrate fossil — a Petoskey stone is a fossil coral, so it counts toward the same 25 pounds as every other rock you keep
