Hiking
Arcadia Dunes offers everything from beginner to more challenging trails for hiking and mountain biking. Enjoy the simple, but beautiful Old Baldy trail as it leads you through dense hardwoods to the beautiful dune bluffs of Lake Michigan. This overlook is a great place for an afternoon picnic or a run with the family pet! A universally accessible, non-motorized trail offers a half-mile paved trail to a scenic dune overlooking Lake Michigan.
