Even when the beaches are crowded , the deeply wooded trails through the park are secluded and peaceful . Mt Randall Trail can be done easily in an hour, round-trip from the NW of the beach parking lot .

Michael Morgan

Absolutely gorgeous state park . I love the combination of forest , sand dunes , and the lake . The sand dune is a little hard to hike up but we’ll worth it for the view !

Tony Corsini

Do the dune hike and check out what's around it, this is the best beach to go to in southwest Michigan ! Clean water and sandy beaches !

Amy Robertson

$9 entrance (per car) for a big & busy beach and a formidable dune that you can see Chicago from on a clear day

Pam P.

You must purchase a day pass to enter. It's $9 - $17 depending on your state residency and whether or not you're driving a commercial vehicle.

Jessica Long

Beware- the biting flies are FIERCE in the summer months . Otherwise, very enjoyable!

Jackie Mann

Really great beach , although the shore was a little rocky.

Estepha Francisque

The BEST beach in Southwest Michigan . Get a recreation pass on your license plate for free unlimited entry

there's a serious dune mountain here overlooking a long beautiful beach with ample parking .

Jamin Bradley

Make sure you check it out in the winter time. When the waves freeze over, they make for an awesome sight.

Drew Morris

not the best place if you're looking for privacy or seclusion, but it's a decent getaway from Chicago for a weekend. just wish they'd let people on the dunes at night.

David Price

Walk quickly so the mosquitos don't get you!

Wayne Rose

Brenden Shingledecker

I was not impressed. The water was very dirty and the trash around the park itself made me upset. What was once a beautiful beach is falling apart

Dave Duenkel

No alcohol prohibited. Also some of the rangers act tough and need to relax

Tommy Moore

Make sure you have cash.

Susan S

Watch the storms roll in and lightening strikes!
