North Ottawa Dunes Hike - Sat. Sept. 14, 2013

Lake Michigan beaches are popular for the clear salt-free water and beautiful coastline.  Occasional empty places along the beach where you can enjoy the lake without hundreds of folks.  North Ottawa Dunes follows that description.


We'll meet at 10:30 am at Coast Guard Park and hike 5/6 miles of beautiful North Ottawa Dunes and then head to North Beach Park for lunch.  After lunch is about a mile hike back to Coast Guard Park, but we can continue and hike North Ottawa Dunes.  Terrain is moderate and we will move at a moderate pace.  Tennis shoes are fine.

Bring Passing Plate to share for lunch.  Suggestions: crackers/cheese, stuffed mushrooms, pudding shots, brownies, chips/dip, meatballs, etc.

Fees
No entry fees.

Directions to trail head

Planned Vacations, What a Concept !

Sure, there are maps and tour guides and the Chamber of Commerce, but wouldn't it be nice if we had trips already planned and we knew what we wanted to do at those locations by others recommendations. I have been leading vacation trips with OutsideNE and the Appalachian Mountain Club for over ten years.

Hope you are able to go on one of these trips and add some information! Happy Vacations and Weekends!
