Dog Day Greetings from the Dunes! Awaken your spirits and fill your lungs with fresh air in the Dunes this month. From misty morning walks through the back dunes of Trail 2, to picnics on one over 500 picnic tables in the park, to magnificent evening sunsets over Lake Michigan. Of course, no visit to the park is complete without a trip to the park Nature Center to take in one of many diverse, educational, and fun interpretive programs also. Take a beach break this month and join us for any of the great programs being offered.
