Review:
The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a 35 mile stretch of the eastern coastline of Lake Michigan on the lower peninsula of the state. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail has been developed in sections. The stretch from Glen Arbor to the Dune Climb is four miles long and was completed in 2012. It provides pedestrian access to the campgrounds and other amenities. In 2014, the 5.5 mile section to Empire was completed and in 2015, a 3.5 mile section connected the trail to Port Oneida Rural Historic District. The last section includes a 600 meter boardwalk over wetlands.
