Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve

Lion's Den Trail
This lakeshore hike is an easy 2 mile hike down the bluffs to Lake Michigan.  Part of this is well maintained and paved path that takes you to a sandy beach.  It is a great place to pack a lunch and swim for awhile.  The best time to visit is in the summer; specifically August so the lake is a little warmer.  This is a busy and popular trail, so be prepared to see other people and share the space.  This trail has a little of everything, and is one of our favorite day-trips in the summer.
