Shifting sand dunes, a Lake Michigan shoreline, river mouth and marshes create varied compositions — wide seascapes, textured dunes, intimate marsh details and migratory birds. Best at sunrise/sunset for dramatic sky and low contrast; spring and fall for birds and color. Small parking area; trails and boardwalks are mostly unpaved and can be windy or buggy in summer. No entry fee; respect nesting areas and signage.
