This trail tours a significant section of Point Beach State Park and crosses points of the Ice Age Trail: Point Beach State Park. The trail is heavily forested, with access to Lake Michigan and its shoreline dunes, and it also traverses through some wetlands. Overall, the trail is not too difficult. It is a wider singletrack, but occasionally goes through sandy and wetter areas.
