Particularly Special Place
Description
As you cross the Grand Calumet River bridge going north, the landscape changes dramatically from black oak savanna to massive sand dunes and ponds. It looks like a another planet. More sand than you can imagine!
Short Hike: About 1.1 miles from the Paul Douglas Visitor Center parking lot.
Family Friendly: Kids will love playing along the bluffs found in the dunes. Please keep them on marked trails only, however.
Gem Type: Viewpoint
