Connects to Window on the Waterfront and Heinz walkways. Boardwalk allows for viewing of boats and barges on the lake, boat launch. Great little playground for kids, and summer concerts held weekly.

We actually go here most often in the evening, parking at the nearby Window on the Waterfront entrance . Great naturalist sightseeing, along with Tulips and windmills- and free at night!

My favorite hiking spot South of Holland. Park with state park sticker, or at neighboring lot for free. Miles of gorgeous dune trails for you to the beautiful secluded beaches. Must do!

We love walking the trails - feels like Holland Netherlands with the swamps, Tulip gardens and windmill. Merry-go-round, shops add to the fun day, or have place to yourself in evening.

The beach for quick(realtively) beach access for active people. Lots of steps- but great workout and well worth it for the privacy and beauty of the place. Gorgeous sand!

I rarely go to this beach, as it is the crowded "touristy" one and I like the private nature preserve beaches. However, has a fun vibe from the crowds & it's great viewing of Lighthouse.

Fun trip with the kids, especially if they are into birds of prey and other critters. Beautiful walking trails through fields and ponds. Elk and eagles and other magnificent animals grace the grounds. Hands-on exploration, playground, and clubhouse. Great picnic shelter for a group, too.

The location doesn't impress, but once inside, enjoy a great atmosphere and the best burgers in the area. The "Hot Hollander" with pickled jalapenos, blue cheese, bacon, and a deep-fried onion ring, is the best burger I've ever had.
