Let's Take a Hike: Saugatuck - Oxbow/Oval Beach Hike - 4+ miles

Dogs are not allowed!

We will meet at Oval Beach. They don't charge a parking fee this time of year.

We will start the hike on the Fishtown trail (0.8 miles) to Tallmadge Wood's - Crow's Nest Trail. Tallmadge Wood's - Crow's Nest Trail is a 1.7 mile loop. Then we will walk 1/2 mile down the street to Mount Baldhead steps. Climbing these steps are optional. You may climb up and down the 303 steps. This if for bragging rights, just to say that you did it. Then, we will take the John Woolam Trail back to Oval Beach (0.8 miles).

Optional Hike: We the walk north down the beach 1/4 to 1/2 mile or so. (The pier is about 1 mile awat) This is out and back.

It will be around a 4.1 mile hike plus the any beach hiking.

Note: Except for the optional beach hike, the most of the rest of the trails will be in woods (shade).
