Pierce Stocking Drive Dune Overlook - Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore - Scenic Roadside Look-Outs on Waymarking.com

The Sleeping Bear Dunes cover an area of four square miles. While this is a rather small area, it displays considerable diversity. A high, barren plateau to the south grades into a lowland to the north. The plateau itself is a glacial feature, in some places covered with a thin veneer of dunes. A sand dune is simply a pile of sand deposited by the wind. The prevailing southwesterly winds move sand across the Sleeping Bear Plateau toward the northeast.

Please do not walk out onto the dunes here. The dunes are a fragile environment. Hikers can quickly produce paths that take years to revegetate. At the next stop you will have a chance to take a walk on the Cottonwood Trail.
