Hiking

There are two scenic loops of flat to gently rolling trails, each about 4K (2.5 mi.), through a forest of evergreens and hardwoods.  The trail leads to a view of Lake Michigan and a wide expanse of low beach dunes.  The trailhead is located on M-22 just north of Sutter Road.  The National Lakeshore charges a visitor's fee of $10 per vehicle for a seven day pass or $20 for an annual pass.  Mountain bikes are not allowed on any of the National Park trails.  Pets must be kept on a 6-foot maximum leash.
