The 500' point of Pyramid Point can be seen from space! The sand is perfect for for sun seekers and hikers.
All of that activity surely makes you thirsty so why not grab a beer or a soda and burger at Art's Tavern in Glen Arbor or Joe's Friendly Tavern in Empire. Just west of Glen Arbor is the historic town of Glen Haven that boats historical displays, the Coast Guard museum, and a great sandy beach. In Empire, hike the Empire Bluffs trail for amazing views and have a picnic at the public beach.When the snow arrives, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are great ways to enjoy nature. Staying at the Homestead? Downhill skiing is right out your door. All year long, these towns have something to offer! Check out the winter weekly hikes at the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Guided hikes on the weekends.
