I have always enjoyed <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.leelanau.com/dunes/trails/shauger-hill.shtml" rel="nofollow">the Shauger Hill Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes</a>. That page says <em>This rich woodland changes with the seasons. In the spring, look for wild flowers and morels; in the summer enjoy the deep shade and listen for songs of the ovenbird, red-eyed vireo and veery...</em> Now I'm not going to say if they're right about that morel part or that the above photo was taken not far off the trail there, but I will tell you that I particularly enjoy this trail in May. It's also not far from things like Pierce Stocking Drive, which gives a stunning view as shown in this <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.leelanau.com/blog/sleeping-bear-dunes-national-lakeshore-panoramas/" rel="nofollow">Sleeping Bear Dunes panorama by 360 Michigan</a>. I should also add that the <a href="http://www.theconservancy.com/naturalareaspres.html" rel="nofollow">Leelanau Conservancy's trails</a> - especially Kehl Lake (near Leelanau State Park) and Houdek Dunes (on the way to Northport and the State Park) offer very diverse flora as well.
