Whitefish Dunes State Park
Wisconsin's tallest lakeshore dunes and long sandy beaches, connected by a walking path to Cave Point. A great spot for summer swimming and hiking.
Whitefish Dunes State Park has Wisconsin's tallest dunes, with Eagle Head Dune rising about 28 meters, along with several kilometers of fine sandy beaches. The lake water is cold but clear. About 24 kilometers of trails wind through the dunes, forest, and wetlands. The Red Trail follows the shoreline all the way to Cave Point. The dunes are fragile, so visitors must stick to the wooden boardwalks. Undertows are strong along the shore, so take care when swimming without a lifeguard on duty. A state park vehicle day pass is required.
