Pyramid Point Trail
Distance: 2.7 miles loop (lookout point is 0.6 miles from trailhead)
Elevation Gain: 226 ft

Fee: Because this trail is in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, all visitors are required to have a weekly vehicle entrance permit, an annual park pass or a per-person pass if they arrive on foot, bicycle or motorcycle. For more information on a park pass, click here.
Description: When the Dune Climb is crawling with people during the summer months, you can still get an incredible dune workout on the Pyramid Point Trail. And you’ll appreciate the spectacular sweeping views of the Manitou Islands and the sparkling Caribbean Blue waters 200 ft below from the lookout.
Hike through century-old beech and maple forests, over stunning sand dunes, and through farm fields and meadows.
Leashed pets are permitted.
Pyramid Point trail is open year-round, but the trailhead is down a dirt road that isn’t plowed in winter.
