    This is a mixture of a hilly wooden area, open grassland, and dunes with a stop on Lake Michigan. Option to hike some of the north trails after the south trail so we can get 6-10 miles in. We will do this along with the West Michigan Ski Club and the Grand Rapids Hiking and Adventure Meetup Groups. Meet at the westside of the township parking area by the mansion, not the state park parking area. Recommend to bring water. Those interested will go into Saugatuck to enjoy the rest of the day.
