This picture is one of several record during a hike from the Nurnberg road trail through the back-dunes of the Wilderness Area and into wild north end of Ludington State Park, June 2024. The Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness is a 3,450-acre listed wilderness area within the Manistee National Forest. It is located north of Ludington, Michigan, and is best known for its 4 miles of undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline. The Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness is extremely fragile, and the ecosystem of the area is not found anywhere else in the world.
