My wife and I drove down to Green Point Dunes Nature Preserve from our rental cottage in Frankfort with our 17-year old twins. All four of us enjoyed the hike through the woods to a couple of places that overlooked Lake Michigan and made the walk down the wooden stairs to the beach. The views were great both from up above and down on the beach. It's only 75 steps each way and the stairs are sturdy! The two-mile round trip trail is well marked and while there are some ups and downs, it's not very strenuous and very peaceful.

We stumbled across this beach when visiting the lighthouse and pier. Lots of parking, really beautiful and clear water. Public restrooms, concession stands, and free parking all right beside the beach. While the first street beach got lots of waves the day that we were there, the 5th street beach had no waves as the pier blocked them all. Something worth keeping an eye on depending on if you want waves or not!

This is a beautiful spot. Loved walking the deck walkway over the preserve. Enjoyed watching the birds along the way and identifying plants and wildflowers. It is an easy enoyful way to commune with nature.

A really nice beach that we stumbled across while driving up the coast. Public restrooms, pavilions, playgrounds, and free parking are plenty. The waves were great the day that we were there and the color of the water was fantastic.

Camped with my immediate family (daughters, future son in law, and infant granddaughter) this week. The campground is very nicely maintained and has nice amenities without being too “comfortable” for our tent camping family. The site had a slope but we made it work. Loved being so close to the lake even though access is no longer an option (we were aware of it because researched in advance). A lot of beautiful trails to walk along the Lang and across the road are many through the forest with abundance of wildlife. Only disappointment was the many campers who ignored the clear sign posted to wear masks when entering restrooms and the park office. Otherwise social distancing was respected and most were courteous of others as far as noise etc. there were a lot of dogs so I could have taken mine and not worried about the occasional barking she may have done. I marked choice Sites and many trails I was not able to walk so I can make the 2 hr drive in the future with my dog. We also loved the 10 minute trip to the beach at First street beach in Manistee. Beautiful Large beach with lighthouse, pavilions, snack bar, restrooms, close parking, and everyone maintained social distancing.

This place has a rich history and beautiful grounds. The lovely Lakeshore landscape with it's woodsy trails make this a great place for bird watchers, hikers, meditating in nature, taking in a beautiful Sunset. Photographers will love it at Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary.
