Bay View Trail-Sleeping Bear Dunes

  • About

    The 7 mile Bay View Trail is a hilly trail that is divided into several shorter loops through a beech-maple forest, old farm fields, and a pine plantation. The Lookout Point on the loop north of Thoreson Road provides a spectacular view of Lake Michigan. To access the trailhead, northbound vehicles can take the second Thoreson Road junction off M-22, 3.5 miles north of Glen Arbor. Mountain bikes are not allowed on any of the National Park trails. Pets must be kept on a six-foot maximum leash.
