Reviews
The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail is a non-motorized trail that showcases destinations within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the two Lakeshore towns of Glen Arbor and Empire. Currently the trail is 20 miles end to end including a 3 mile route on the road through Glen Arbor.
Great paved trail with lots of places to hop on if you only want to do part of the trail. Lots of cyclists but not so many that it feels busy.
Absolutely gorgeous views. I’ve travelled a fair amount in my life. This area in the summer is among the most beautiful on earth.
Awesome trail for riders. Some easy sections, some not so easy. A lot is paved some is not. About 22 miles or so now end to end, one way. The section from Glen Arbor to the dune climb is paved and easy.
We rode the entire trail. It is an awesome ride! Some sections are up and down but no giant killer climbs. Such great scenery.
