Explore Southwest Michigan’s Stunning Freshwater Dunes

St. Joseph Lighthouse

Southwest Michigan’s dunes are part of the largest freshwater dune system in the world. The state’s dune system is so large that astronauts can see it from space! This 16-acre, family-oriented park provides access from its parking lot to the historic North Pier lighthouse and a popular walkway for fishing and watching sunsets. Small dunes rise behind the beach, adding to its charm and providing a scenic view of the area.
