Join us for a 2.2 mile hike with about 230 feet of elevation through the dunes. This is one of my favorite hikes to do this time of year. I love to see the ice in Lake Michigan. The hike is mainly sandy and can be a little muddy in places.

The hike starts out with hiking through the woods into the dunes, onto the beach, and then back into the woods.

Gorgeous wildlife and scenery.
