Mount Baldhead
A wooded dune hill across the river. Climb 302 steps to the summit for views of the town, the Kalamazoo River, and Lake Michigan.
Mount Baldhead is a wooded dune about 60 meters high, across the river from the town of Saugatuck. From the park at its base, you can climb roughly 300 wooden steps to the top, where the summit platform overlooks Saugatuck, the Kalamazoo River harbor, and Douglas. From the summit, a dune trail on the other side leads down to Oval Beach, so you can combine the hike and the beach into one route. Entry is free. Allow about 1 hour for the round trip. The steps are steep, so bring water.
