I run the stairs every week. This preserve is a hidden gem in Holland. Not too busy, great views (especially in the winter when the leaves arent blocking the view of the Lake) and friendly people. Check this place out if you want a nice walk. Go off the beaten path a bit and youll find this cool Graffiti spot that my dog and I like to visit.

Beautiful trail. On 66th just south of 32nd. There is limited parking. Bike rack and portable bathroom on site. Picnic tables. Dog friendly. The path is very clean, but there are a lot of stairs to the back part of the trail. Worth the effort to see the wilderness.

Beautiful place to come and hang out with your family and go and explore nature at its finest. Be sure to bring a bottle of water, and just a heads up the stairs are a lot more than they look, a 368 step stair case with a wonderful out looking pad on top great for family nature photos. Enjoy my photos I taken here

Gorgeous park with challenging paths. Loved it?

While there are a LOT of stairs to climb to get to the upper trail, the views of Lake Macatawa make it worthwhile.

The stairs are a challenge but it is great exercise. Once at the top, the trail is absolutely wonderful. The views of the two lakes is breathtaking. My wife and I visit Sanctuary Woods often. Reccomend you give it a try.

Short little hike with the kids. Thought it was gonna be a little bit longer, but was good enough to get some fresh air.

Great secluded little park that makes you feel like youve left the city. Once you climb the imposing stairs the trails run in either direction along the ridges.

Nice walk through the woods with views of the lakes.. be prepared to climb some stairs.

Very beautiful for a hike i believe there are little under 200 stairs to clime if you want to head up..otherwise stay low and enjoy a walk in a circle.

Beautiful place to take the family. Note: there is a very steep and long set of stairs.

This place is awesome, but there really should be a map and a caution regarding the difficulty.

Gorgeous walking paths with an overlook of the water through the trees. Lots of inclines and stairs here, so those who visit should be comfortable with physical exercise. Wear long sleeves and pants to avoid being bitten by mosquitos here.

Great place for an easy stroll or some good hiking

Went on a very humid day so the uphill parts were rough, but it was a beautiful walk

A nice trail with not a lot of people. Certain parts seem to not be very well maintained. There are a lot of stairs.

Our family enjoyed this hike so much. The views were amazing! With over 200+ stairs it made for a fantastic workout. We will visit this place again!

Absolutely beautiful. It is a must see. Such a beautiful park, soo beautiful in the fall as well.

Very nice short hike! Lots and lots of stairs and Im excited for the view once all the leaves are gone in the fall.

Great place to run. There were some fellow photographers there, but they werent too friendly

Lovely, quiet place with great trails. Spectacular views once you climb the multitude of stairs.

Nice walk through the woods, just a few stairs

Great low key hiking spot

I love this little gem! You can run/walk up the dune (up the stairs), along the ridge, and back down. Stop and take in the view from the multiple overlook benches! This is a great spot all year long.

Short hike with a nice little stair challenge to start you out. Beautiful all year long, but the Spring wild flowers are wonderful. Kids love to play on the ruins at the creek.

Great for walking. Stairs to climb and great wildlife

Quiet way to get to the beach. Lot of stairs though... Nice woodland trail with a stream even if you dont want to go to the beach

Great for hikes with family. Sometimes you see owls, deer, or woodpeckers

Beautiful trail with stairs that will work up a sweat

If you dont mind a mini, Mt. Pisgah stairway up into the beautiful tree filled path, then this is the place for you. The stairs take you up to the path. Very beautiful and a nice, short loop. You can see the sparkling sun reflected in the water down below on Lake Macatawa. Great for a refresher of peacefulness whether youre just starting your day, or just ending it. What are you waiting for?! Go check it out!!P.S Important news: There is a geocache at this location.

We love to hike with our dogs here. Beautiful!

Saw a family of foxes when we were walking along the upper trail.

Small and peaceful place to go for a wall and get away from everything and get some cardio while youre at it.

Nice walking trails. Hiking optional. Enjoyable place to become one with nature.

THE BLOWOUT

Sweet trials, great exercise!

We loved being able to take the dogs with us.

Nice walking trail, many people bring their dogs. Not many lake views until the leaves are down.

Tall dunes covered with fast growing trees. Great stair climb. Many kinds of birds. A small park but in summer feels like you are far away from civilization. Nice view of Lake Macatawa from top of dune. Always a calming visit.

The stairs are a good warm up. Great place for a hike.

Very nice park

Great trail for a quick walk plus a huge staircase. There have recently been some minor sprucing up and repairs. Gets really close to some back yards in one section. Great view at the top of the hill.

Great place to run or hike. Quiet and peaceful

A great part of our beautiful lakeshore dunes. Great views of lake and bay. Keep it beautiful.

Love this place. It has great trails and foilage for pictures. Beautiful streams and bridges.

Great place! Quiet, not crowded. Just be aware that its about 177 stairs to the top!

Very nice spot for hiking and exploring

WEAR BUG SPRAY. My family loves to do the stairs as their workout on vacation. Awesome park but I got a tick after being in there so beware.

Lots of friends like to meet here for summer hammock and hiking gatherings

Pretty cool views of the south side of the channel. Kid friendly and took about 35 minutes with a 6 and 8 year old.

Good place to walk and clear your head.

Great trails for hiking. Great views from on top of the dunes

Great views of lake Michigan and mac

I great place for a relaxing walk!

Spent years in these woods.

Great Place for a Run. Note: lots of Stairs but really cool place to go.

Lots of steps but a very nice park. Great springtime wildflowers. Off-leash dogs may become more and more of an issue.

Beautiful park with stairs climbing the wooded dune. See the where the old Interurban train once passed and the Carousel Mountain Ski Resort once stood. Great view of the Holland channel from the top. Wear bug spray for ticks! (high-risk area for Lyme disease)

Good place to take pictures, hiking, or walking the dog. Lots of stairs if u want to get to the top of the dune

Beautiful loop! Views of lake Macatawa and Lake Michigan, dappled sunlight through eastern redcedars and hardwoods, and refreshing lake breezes make the approximately one bazillion steps to the top well worth it. Just wish it was bigger!

Lots of steps short nice loop in the woods.

A mighty set of stairs up to an amazing trail loop!

Nice park for a quick walk

Great place for a walk. Its a bit small if you want to take a walk alone on a busy day, but thats usually the case for most hiking trails.

Sneak a peak at the lake from the wooded trail.

Great place for a short hike. Be prepared to go up and down several sets of stairs.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Wonderful views of Lake Mac and piers to Lake Michigan. You do need to climb 150 or so stairs to trail.

Beautiful, peaceful walk!

A nice place to go for a walk/run

Beautiful trails.

Huge stairs. Nice and peaceful.

240 total stairs on .7 mile trail

We hiked on what seemed like a pretty clear path for half an hour and never witnessed what was advertised as breathtaking scenery of the two lakes.

Too many bugs

Very beautiful.

Stunning views!

Awesome walk

Lots of stairs!

Great walking trails
