One of our favorite hiking trails! Takes you to an Upper view of Lake Michigan (you can see a shipwreck) then winds around down to the beach. This preserve offers nearly three miles of trail winding through forest and meadow to stunning views of Lake Michigan and a beach of unparalleled beauty.

Visit Fishtown! Walk along the docks, amongst the weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, racks of drying fishing nets, and fish tugs on the Leland River, and you can imagine what it would have been like in the early 1900s to live and work in this small fishing village, nestled along the shore of Lake Michigan. Many of the shanties now house delightful gift and clothing boutiques, art galleries and specialty food shops. Summer bustles with activity, and during colder seasons the docks become quiet and tranquil

The trail to the top of the Empire Bluffs is probably the most popular short hike in lower Michigan. If are planning a visit to Sleeping Bear Dunes this 1.5 mile out and back hike should be on your must do list. It is a fairly easy hike on a wide path to a boardwalk along the bluffs that rise up to 400 feet above Lake Michigan. Looking to the north the shore bends away in a perfect sand arch that ends with the Sleeping Bear Dune. The end of the dune then points out to South Manitou Island floating on the deep blue water on the horizon. At the end of the boardwalk are a few benches where you can rest and take in the view before heading back to your car.
