One of the park’s main attractions is the dune climb along the Dune Overlook Trail, an approximately half-mile roundtrip climb with about 220 steps and benches along the way. At the top, you’ll be greeted with two observation platforms offering a picturesque panoramic view of Lake Michigan and the sand dunes. The trailhead can be accessed near the visitor center.

For a more moderate hike, follow the 2-mile-long (round trip) Homestead Trail that includes a stop at Lake Michigan.
