Green Point Dunes Nature Preserve

This gallery features images taken in the Green Point Dunes Nature Preserve, which protects some 242 acres of land just south of Frankfort and Elberta. This preserve offers nearly three miles of trail winding through forest and meadow to stunning views of Lake Michigan and a beach of unparalleled beauty. The property is host to many native plant species and unique bird habitats, so be on the lookout for wildflower displays and many species of birds.
