Leelanau State Park-Hiking Trailhead off Densomore Rd.
The first road on the left after the Woolsey Memorial Airport.
This is our favorite trail...if one is able to have a favorite...because of how it walks through the forest then opens up to sand dunes and onto the shore. Bring some bug spray, sunscreen and a blanket for a picnic on the shoreline. It tends to be less crowded.
It could be a 2 mile hike or 5 mile if you do the entire loop including the lookout and beach.
