Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

1 of 3

Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore is famous for its stunning landscape and is covered in dunes that stand more than 450 feet over Lake Michigan. It will thrill nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts with everything from stunning dunes and lovely beaches to wind-swept rivers and secluded isles.

The sand dunes are the major attraction at Sleeping Bear Dunes, where guests may climb them and take great holiday photographs. The park also has approximately 100 miles of hiking, bicycling, skiing, and snowshoeing paths, including the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, which winds its way around the lakeshore through many of its dunes and sources of water. In the winter, come to the Sleeping Bear dunes for some spectacular sledding.

The Philip A. Hart Visitor Center, where you can get maps and see an orientation movie, is a wonderful spot to start your trip.
