The views here are amazing and it is an easy hike from the parking lot out to the dune. There are several trails off either side that provide even more panoramic views and if you take the left path, you'll be treated to a wonderful view of the Au Sable Lighthouse! **Note there is nothing stopping anyone from running down the dune all the way to the lake, but if you do, BE PREPARED for a very physical hike back up which could take an hour or more depending on your physical condition.

What a wonderful and delightful surprise this was! Karen took the time to engage my newly rock-obsessed children (6&8) and teach us a ton in a short time. I was so impressed with how quickly she could identify the 3 rocks we had picked up from the beach. I also REALLY appreciated that she is taking appropriate COVID-19 precautions given the influx of visitors from areas with surging numbers; most indoor establishments in Grand Marais were without masks or social distancing.

A shop owner gave us tip that we could walk along the shoreline to get to the falls. It was not too long but you have to be prepared to walk on sand and rocks. Once we were there we could climb some stairs to see the falls which were lovely. We then decided to walk some of the trails and are very glad we did because we made it to the sand dunes and saw some of the best views of our entire vacation.

We hiked from Log Slide Overlook. The views of the lake were beautiful. The trail was easy and not heavily trafficked liked many of the trails further west in the park. Highly recommend this hike.

Great views of the bay in Grand Marais, the beach is beautiful and sandy. Perfect for relaxing or families. There is a small play ground facility, changing area and rest rooms.
