Whitefish Dunes State Park

On April 16, 2023, Kim, Cash and I hiked within Whitefish Dunes State Park. We actually started in Cave Point County Park before heading south to catch the Brachiopod Trail in the state park. We followed that to the Nature Center Office to catch the start of the Red Trail. We hopped off the Red Trail several times to “spur” over to the beach and Whitefish Bay, before hopping on the boardwalk to see the “Old Baldy” dune. From there we looped inland on the Yellow and Green trails to the Nature Center before retracing our steps to the county park. A really nice and scenic trail.
