Good Harbor Bay TrailFeatured Trail

Our featured trail is the Good Harbor Bay Trail in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. It's a trail that's not too long and doesn't have a lot of hills, making it a great one for novices and/or kids! You can view the trail map right here and download a computer background taken last winter where the trail nears the lake from our Backgrounds page 2 (right at the top).
