Algonac State Park is home to some of the rarest natural communities in Michigan. Algonac's lakeplain prairies and lakeplain oak savannas are considered globally significant. These special habitats include nineteen species that are on the state list of endangered, threatened, and special concern species. Prairies and oak savannas require periodic burning to remain healthy. Stewardship efforts are underway to restore Algonac's prairies and savannas. The blazing star prairie across from the archery range is a wonderful place to view prairie plants, birds, and butterflies.

Algonac State Park maintains foot trails for those who wish to hike or cross-country ski. These trails pass through a variety of habitats. The new Lake Plain Prairie Trail allows one to walk through the blazing star prairie.
