The Sleeping Bear Point Trail is a scenic 2.8-mile loop that winds through the stunning sand dunes of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. A short 0.5-mile spur from the trailhead leads to Lake Michigan. Though 90% of the hike involves trekking through sandy terrain, which makes it more challenging and time-consuming than traditional trails, the effort is rewarded with breathtaking vistas of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands. The sweeping views and serene landscapes make this hike a memorable experience for nature lovers.
