On this 2.7 mile trail, you will find three extremely different environments: maple-beech forest, high bluffs, and meadow. Please do not descend the bluff to Lake Michigan for your safety and to protect the natural setting. The trail includes several steep hills. Also the last 0.4 miles of the loop follows Basch Road - Watch out for traffic as you return to the trailhead.
