June 30, 2023, Old Indian Trail Viewpoint

Scenic viewpoint of the Sleeping Bear Dunes & Lake Michigan off of the Old Indian Trail. The perfect stop on any part of the Old Indian Trail or Green/Black Arrow loops.

Accessible via a concrete walkway. This can only be entered in good weather. A traffic light then knows when it is forbidden.

A beautiful trail that runs mostly on flat, sandy terrain. It is worth taking a break on the shores of Lake Michigan.
