Empire Bluff Trail

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

The Empire Bluff Trail is 1.5 miles round trip. The terrain is hilly climbing up through a beech-maple forest, fields and sand dune plants.. The trail leads to a high bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. For your safety and to protect the environment: please do not descend the bluff. The trail ends at post #6 in winter because of hazardous ice and snow conditions on the boardwalk and bluffs.
