Silver Lake Sand Dunes | Mac Wood's Dune Rides | Little Sable Point Lighthouse | Lake Michigan
Michigan is so beautiful!! We recently took a mini vacation to Branch, MI where we (along with my aunt, uncle, and big cousin) rented a house in the middle of the Huron-Manistee National Forest with the river running right behind us. Though it was nice and peaceful, we didn't spend too much time at the house ... except to eat, sleep, and relax.
In the morning, we headed out early and made the drive to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. This was mine and my dad's first time on the dunes and on the Mac Wood's Dune Rides. It was so much fun, and our driver/tour guide was super funny. After the ride, we stopped by the Little Sable Point Lighthouse. We decided to make the climb up and see the view from the top ... Lake Michigan is beautiful!!

Big Sable Point & Little Sable Point Lighthouses
Along the pristine shoreline of western Michigan sit 2 of the taller lighthouses in the state, Big Sable Point Lighthouse and Little Sable Point Lighthouse. The public is able to climb to the time at a cost of $5 for adults and $2 for children, open from first week in May to last week in October from 10am - 5pm.
Big Sable Point Lighthouse was consructed in 1867 and stands at 112 feet tall. There is a 2 mile walk to get to the lighthouse from the nearest road, but it is a great walk either along the pristine beach or on one of the trails further inland.
The Little Sable Point Lighthouse was constructed in 1874, located in Mears Michigan about 39 miles south of Big Sable Point Lighthouse. Little Sable Point Lighthouse is 108 feet tall.

About 30 miles south of Big Sable Point Lighthouse brings you to the other point, located in the Silver Lake State Park at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Little Sable Point Lighthouse is a 107' brick structure, constructed in 1874. Along with Big Sable Point Lighthouse, this structure is one of the tallest in the state of Michigan at over 100 feet and 130 steps to climb the tower.
Lighthouse Accessibility -- New to the park is a ten foot wide paved pathway that leads from the parking lot to the lighthouse. This now allows those with physical disabilities and those in wheelchairs to access the base of the lighthouse.

Climbing Little Sable Point Lighthouse in Michigan
The Little Sable Point Lighthouse is located near Silver Lake in Michigan. Tours of the tower are available and the view of Lake Michigan and the dunes is spectacular. The Wikipedia entry is available at

Michigan Shoreline Lighthouses
In this video of Michigan Lighthouse we go around the perimeter of the state starting with the east coast to the northern coast and down the west coast. We used a Phantom 4 Pro V2 which is available here We also used a goPro Hero 6 available here We mounted the Go Pro with Ram Mounts.
This is by no means a complete tour of lighthouses in Michigan as there are 124 remaining lighthouses. In this video we shot 10 of the 13 major lighthouses along the shoreline. We skipped Tthe two near Traverse City (Grand Traverse & Old Mission), simply because it was several miles up a island to get to them and did not have the time. We also skipped Grand Haven South Pierhead Inner Light because it was raining when we drove thorough there.
Although the video starts with a sunrise over the Mackinac Bridge, we started the tour of lighthouse on the south eastern coast in Port Huron, Fort Gratiot Lighthouse which as a 1829 military fort. On the drive up the coast between Fort Gratiot & Sturgeon Point was a great Mexicon Food Trailer, Tony's Tacos, Authentic Mexican Food, in Standish, MI. I highly reccomend stopping there, sure beats the typical fast food chains.
Some of our favorites were Big Sable Point & Little Sable Point, both over 100 feet and on the pristine part of the Beach. It is a 2 mile walk to Big Sable Point, as you'll see us in the video. Also the drive from Port Betsie to Big Sable Point was inpressive. Our GPS took us though some of the dirt roads of truly Pure Michigan. At times I wondered if my GPS was guiding me right, but it was. It was an enjoyable ride as you'll see my Toy Poodle, Bella enjoying the scenery as well.
We started and eneded with a sunset at Mackinaw City on the northern coast. We will be posting a separate video showing Mackinac City. This is a great area to spend a weekend, plenty of hotels. It has 2 lighthouses. The most impressive of the two lighthouses is Old Mackinac Point which is part of Historic Colonial Michilimackinac. The other Lighthouse in Mackinac City is McGulpin Point which was about 3 miles away from the main downtown area of Mackinac City, and kind of secluded in a forest.
The other Lighthouses on east coast we feature are 40 Mile Point Lighthouse in Rogers City and the New Presque Isle and Old Presque Isle Lighthouse. Currenlty the Old Presque Isle is not open to the public. The Sturgeon Point Lighthouse is very similiar to the New Presque Isle Lighthouse. The other we feature on the west coast, probably technically is not big enough to be considered a lighthouse is the Charlevoix South Pier Light Station.

A diamond in the rough, this low bluff wooded DEQ approved building site with 264 feet of Lake Michigan's finest wind swept beach. Adjoining miles of pristine state park shoreline as well as the renown Silver Lake Dunes, this natural haven waits for an imaginative buyer to sculpt a dreamscape of their very own...an architect's wonderland. Located 1.5 just north of Little Point Sable Lighthouse, the 1.2 acre plot includes a large acreage reserve co-owned by the Golden Sands Subdivision. Situated on this unique property is a very broken, much loved (but a bit neglected) charming old cottage, a salty trailer used for storage with an easy winding path to a pristine, incredible beach. Tucked in the trees with tremendous views in all directions, this hide-away is an

Mac Wood's Dune Rides Silver Lake Michigan
2017 Mac Wood's Dune Ride Adventure!
Let's Visit Silver Lake State Park (Michigan)
Located along Lake Michigan between Ludington and Muskegon, MI, Silver Lake State Park, located near Mears, MI, consists of very large sand dunes divided off into three sections: a pedestrian zone, an off-road vehicle zone, and a zone privately owned by Mac's Dune Rides. I start off over at the beach at the day use area (near the campground) of Silver Lake State Park where you can gaze at the dunes. Later in the video, I go on one of the dune rides offered by Mac's Dune Rides. To conclude the video, I head to the top of the Little Sable Point Lighthouse to get a great view of Lake Michigan and the entire area.

The lighthouse was designed by Col. Orlando M. Poe and has been described as a classic Poe tower. The design used 109 1-foot-diameter wood pilings driven into the sand, capped by 12 feet of stone as a stout base for the brick tower. The walls of the tower are 5 feet (1.5 m) thick at the base and 2 feet (0.61 m) at its zenith.

Rough Waters On Lake Michigan
December 31, 2019 - high winds and waves at Little Sable Point Lighthouse. I am standing on rocks in front of the lighthouse - the water is hitting the rocks. There used to be 20-30 feet of beach between the rocks and Lake Michigan. Now, the water beats the shoreline a house fell into the lake not far from here.
