Climbing a dune is optional.
Walk the sandy trail exploring the shore, coastal dunes, and forests of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Near Platte River Campground
The ideal tour to learn more about Sleeping Bear Dunes and all it has to offer. Your guide will share local information, provide you with a park map, and prepare you for all of your northern Michigan travels.
Remember to order your official guide shirt as a souvenir!
Explore the Shore
Explore the shore for Petoskey stones (Michigan’s state stone), watch loons swim and vocalize offshore, spy birds of prey and sea gulls, or just sit in the sand and learn more about the park from your experienced guide.
Easy, Breezy, and Chill
Stroll slow and easy, run along the sandy shoreline, or float like a feather through the landscape. This family friendly setting in the National Lakeshore is an oasis of FuN! All sand, mostly level, totally awesome! We highly recommend morning tours in the summer. The dune landscape can be hot.
Bring a cooler, spend the day!
Sandy Beach Trail
Go barefoot and explore the shore, forests, and front country dunes in this hidden gem location in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Visualize the coastal dunes of Empire Bluff and the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in the distance.
Setting is spectacular year round!
