Like many visitors to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, as you’re enjoy hiking through the woods or along a lakeshore, kayaking in rivers and lakes, and biking on back roads and trails, you come across a new flower of plant you do not usually see. As the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore works to bring the land back to the natural state of being, this has allowed for native local flora and fauna to return.
We have developed a simple wildflower field guide that contains pictures and names of the most common flowers in the area and can be easily folded up and taken with you on your hike. This is also available at the Visitor Center for a small donation.
