Dunes Scenic Overlook

There's a wonderful view over Sleeping Bear Dunes from this overlook. It is a stop along Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive and has somewhat limited parking spots. There is an access loop that you can use to drop off passengers. There are also a few informational plaques that give details on the history of the area/nature.

Easy to get to and well worth the stop. Don't miss it, if you are in the area.

Great drive to the top. View is ok.

Very scenic place. The Overlook is small and accessible from the scenic route. Pay and use route. Usually crowded on weekends, can get busy during the afternoons with less parking space. No restrooms at this location, but has a few picnic tables

One heck of a climb. People at the bottom looked like ants. It's a really step and pure awesomeness. Climbing down does not look worth it though! People were literally crawling back up and it was taking them forever.

Amazing views. Have extra time to hike down to the beach. Good luck coming up the steep sand dunes

So beautiful and peaceful. The stars out here are amazing. Brought back great memories for the husband. Can't wait to do this again when we have more time. The ticket cost $25 and it's good for 7 days which isn't bad. I think we'll rv or camper it next time.

Love this place, for someone who has asthma like me, this place is challenging. I only climb the Dunes Climb but not the overlook one. The overlook is 450 above lake Michigan and its 33 degrees angle., so climbing back up is hard. If you are very adventurous and want to challenge yourself like my husband did, make sure that you can climb back up but if you don't mind paying $3000 for reacue then go for it.
