Empire Bluff Trail

Papa J's Pizzeria & Diner
Pizza restaurant
π The place was not all that busy, I felt ignored but that is not reasonable thinking I'd say understaffed is most likely the answer, wate staff is very nice. It took 10 min just to get a drink and menu, ok well that can happen but if not being critical service is often prompt and delightful at...

Indigo Bluffs RV Park & Resort
RV park
π«€ Great location if your wanting to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan beaches, and other surrounding attractions. This park has a really nice separate luxury RV section but the regular RV section is definitely lacking. Most sites are full dirt so if it rains, itβs a mud mess. Even without rain,...

Treat Farm Trail
Hiking area
ππ A wonderful and lesser-known place to visit in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The trailhead is not prominently signed and has space for only a few cars to park on the side of the road. An easy, short trail up the driveway of the old farm, by the buildings (which are being preserved by a fou...
