About

This place is popular, and can get busy! Depending on what time of year it is, or even the time of day, the park rangers may be out directing traffic. You may have to wait in line just to get in! Heads up: the state park requires a separete fee.

If you want to check out the 3-Dune hiking challenge, then make your way to the Nature Center. Or, head straight for the beach. There, you'll find a large, art deco park pavilion with a general store and restaurants. There’s also a bird observatory west of the pavilion.

If it’s winter, there’s a fantastic, 100-foot sledding hill near the pavilion called, The Devil’s Slide. And for the history fans, don’t miss the historical marker on the way to the pavilion, that marks the site of the 1780 Battle of Petit Fort.
