My favorite hiking trails

The trails are hilly wooded ancient sand dunes. There are two beautiful destination spots, a lookout, with a view of Lake Michigan; and the dunes leading to Cathead Bay, and the pristine beach.

We live this for amazing rocks on the beach. This is directly west of the house towards the lake. Turn left at the bottom of the driveway to the curve in the road. Turn right into the park.

Wat je mee moet nemen

Bring sun screen, bug repellant and a handy tick remover.
