Review & FAQ:

The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is without a doubt one of the highlights of a visit to the majestic Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan. You can see some of the best vistas of Lake Michigan as you make your way along the seven mile loop, which takes you through Beech-Maple forests and towering sand dunes.

There are several view points along the way where you can spend some time soaking up the atmosphere, including the Glen Lake Overlook and Lake Michigan Overlook, which is perched 450 feet above the lake and is renowned for offering the most amazing sunset views along the shoreline.
