This 1,952-acre SW Michigan State Park wonderland sits right on Lake Michigan’s shore, just 20 minutes from Indiana, and it’s basically what happens when nature decides to show off.
Warren Dunes State Park: What it Is
Warren Dunes State Park is a 1,952‑acre playground on Lake Michigan’s shore in southwestern Michigan, just 20 minutes from the Indiana border.
It blends towering sand dunes, clear blue‑green beaches, forests and wetlands into a year‑round adventure spot.
Highlights
- Epic sand dunes: Tower Hill rises 240 feet, perfect for climbing, sandboarding or even hang gliding with a permit
- Three miles of AMAZING beach : crystal‑clear water, deep sand that keeps crowds thin and a dog‑friendly shore at the far end
- Hiking trails: six miles winding through forest, open dunes and interdunal wetlands, plus winter ski and snowshoe options
- Two campgrounds: from modern (hookups and hot showers) to semi‑modern, all a short drive from the beach
Good to Know
Bring a cardboard box, trash bag or rent a proper sandboard nearby to sled down the dunes! Sleds work too.
Permitted hang gliding off Tower Hill is a thing here!
