Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Sand dunes in Golden Township, Michigan, US.
Silver Lake Sand Dunes spans over 2000 acres along Lake Michigan's shoreline, featuring extensive sand formations between Muskegon and Ludington.
The establishment of Little Sable Point Lighthouse in 1874 marked the beginning of organized navigation and settlement around the sand dunes region.
Mac Wood's Dune Rides continues the local tradition of guided seven-mile tours through the natural sand formations since the early twentieth century.
The recreational area maintains separate zones for different activities, with specific sections designated for off-road vehicles and others for swimming or hiking.
The natural environment allows visitors to experience both the warm waters of Silver Lake and the fresh waters of Lake Michigan within walking distance.
