Saugatuck Dunes State Park

I had heard the Saugatuck Dunes were more “natural” and so we headed there.  Saugatuck State Park contains 1000 acres and 2.5 miles of Lake Michigan Frontage. The park has rolling sand dunes over 200 feet high.  There are well marked trails and a beach.  It definitely lived up to its reputation and was well worth the stop.  Mom was able to put in about a mile walk.  I had a lot of fun climbing around the dunes and the views were spectacular.

saugatuck dunes state park is a gem! as you indicated the trails are well marks, the woods are quiet and clean and the beach is spectacular when you arrive. please note that just south of the park there are plans afoot for a completely out of scale and not within zoning development that will outfit the shoreline with houses, a golf course, and a 66 slip marina. it will be finished off with a cove full of condos and, moels and a nine story tower. it will do a great deal to degrade the lovely experience you describe. thanks for sharing your experience. it is a wonderful place.
