Trail Overview

South Hyland Rd is a dirt/sand-based trail that runs east and west through Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore land. This route climbs 225 feet through dense beech/maple northern hardwood forest. Along the trail, there are great views of the hills and topography that this area is known for. Traveling from the west side, you will arrive via South Westman Road. From this direction, you will be traveling uphill until you reach West Darwin Road on the east end of the trail. The route doesn't have anything notable as far as obstacles, but the trail is steep and could be slippery with rain or snow.
