Dimple Dune

Dimple Dune is a named summit and high point in Michigan. While the state is best known for water and forest rather than alpine peaks, its hills, ridges and ancient highlands — especially across the Upper Peninsula and the northern Lower Peninsula — reward hikers with long views over lakes, woodland and shoreline. Many summits sit within state forest, park or wilderness land laced with trails.

Reaching the top can mean anything from a short walk to a rugged backcountry climb, so check the trail, terrain and seasonal conditions before setting out. Footing varies, weather changes quickly, and snow lingers into spring at elevation. See related places for the trails, parks and waters nearby.
