Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Yes — dogs are welcome

Leashed dogs (6ft) all year on the Empire Bluff, Pyramid Point and Cottonwood trails and on named stretches of beach. Never on the face of the Dune Climb. Some beaches close to dogs from 15 April to 15 August; the pet page maps which.

Dunes and bluffs rising hundreds of feet above Lake Michigan, with bluff-top trails and long beaches along the Leelanau shore.
