About

Located in the State of Michigan, Dr. T.K. Lawless Park (Lawless Park) is nestled within Cass County, in the Southwest corner of the Lower Peninsula. The park, which includes inland lakes and streams, received its namesake from Chicagobased physician Dr. Theodore Kenneth Lawless, M.D., who posthumously deeded the land, 850 acres, to the County in 1971.
