Guided Tours

The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is a 7 mile scenic route that takes you to spectacular overlooks of Lake Michigan, Glen Lake, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes.  Two picnic areas are also on the route.  A brochure is available at the entrance to the drive for a self-guided tour which has 12 designated stops that are described in the brochure and on interpretive signs at the stops.

Bus Tours
If you have a group on a bus tour, arrangements can be made to have a Park Ranger give a commentary during your bus tour of the park. Contact Park Headquarters 231-326-5134.

Snowshoe Tours
During the winter season (January through March), a snowshoe hike is guided by a ranger each Saturday and Sunday. This is a very popular event each week, so be sure to call Park Headquarters 231-326-5134 to make reservations.
