Let's Take a Hike - Saugatuck Dunes State Park

We will meet in the parking lot at 10:00 by the trail head. We will take the South Trail to the Lake. We will then walk alone the beach. We will take the North Trail back. It should be a hike about 5-6 miles. You need a DNR Recreation Passport to park (Non Resident, $11 per day. $41 annually).

A day use park along a secluded strip of Lake Michigan shoreline, Saugatuck Dunes State Park offers 1,000 acres of land with two and a half miles of shoreline. The Lake Michigan beach is a two-thirds mile hike from the picnic parking area. In addition, the park has fresh water coastal dunes that are over 200 feet tall. The park's terrain varies from steep slopes to rolling hills.
The park's major attractions are the long sandy beaches and the 300-acre natural area, which contains a coastal dune system, as well as three endangered plant species. Nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers and hikers are the predominant day users.

I hope you can make it.
