    Hiking

    This trail runs alongside Long Lake, with breathtaking views right after the first climb. After crossing the entrance road, it meanders through the rolling dunes before making a steep descent into the picnic area, eventually leading you back to the parking lot. The trail connects to the West Beach and Dune Succession Trails, ideal for a fantastic loop through the park with fantastic views of the lake and wetlands, where you'll see plenty of wildlife all along the way.
    Long Lake Loop Trail follows along Long Lake and connects the dune forest north of West Beach Road with the West Beach and Dunes Succession Trails. There are various a great views to Long Lake. The trail winds through the undulating dunes and then has some considerable ascents/descents. The hike may take longer than anticipated due the loose footing of walking in the sand.
