Wonderful little gem for a quiet walk and access two beaches.
Easy way to see Lake Huron on either side of the peninsula. Once you pass the two side trails that lead to the beaches, there is no point to continue. After about a mile, you’ll just come to a chained off road with a no trespassing sign.
If your in the area worth stopping and taking the short hike. Walk down a gated dirt road, couple of side trails to the water. Walking to the both side trails and back was an easy 1 mile.
Definitely worth stopping! Right outside of Detour. The trail is very nicely groomed and easy to walk. On the lefthand side of the trail is a path to the beach with great views. The beach is very rocky, so make sure you have shoes with good grip.
Nice little place to see the water and beach. Scenery is beautiful. The walk all the way back was farther than we thought. We took the 2 side trails to see either side, but it was worth the trip.
