I really enjoyed the scenic overlook. If you are in a wheelchair or have a hard time walking, this is probably one of the only places that you will be able to see the dunes.

A beautiful stop along the Pierce Stocking Drive. One can see the sand dunes and the Lake Michigan. One can also look out to South Manitou Island and something seems like a lighthouse on the island. You can also see the historic D. H. Day farm (the while farm house/buildings), and the Glen Lake.

Beautiful scenery. Hard to believe it’s in Michigan

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

OK overlook that mostly oversees the dunes and not the lake. The better one is 2 miles down the road. The good thing is this one isn't nearly as crowded! And there's some good info displays about the history of the people and the area.

Beautiful overlook of the lake and both sides of the dunes. Plenty of parking and easy access.

One of my favorite locations that I got to see when I visited Michigan. The dunes are MASSIVE and I really did not expect that until I saw them in person. Did some hikes and took some pictures while I wandered the 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.
