About Saugatuck Dunes State Park:

Saugatuck Dunes State Park offers a breathtaking, day-use escape along a beautifully secluded stretch of Lake Michigan. Spanning 1,000 acres of rolling hills and dramatic, steep slopes, the park boasts two and a half miles of pristine shoreline anchored by freshwater coastal dunes rising over 200 feet high. Reaching the sandy beach requires a scenic two-thirds-mile hike from the picnic area, a rewarding trek that keeps the shoreline quiet and natural. A true haven for hikers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers, the park's crown jewel is a 300-acre protected natural area that preserves a rare coastal dune system and shields three endangered plant species.

I hope you can make it.
