Get Outdoors!
A favorite expression for those here year ’round is, “There’s no bad weather, there’s only bad gear.” It’s true. The amazing natural beauty of this place is spectacular, no matter the season. But . . . as the weather warms and the days lengthen, we have even more reason to enjoy spring in Saugatuck. Take a hike and watch for birds at the Saugatuck Dunes State Park; stroll along Oval Beach to the channel and wind your way back through the dunes of Saugatuck Harbor Natural area; climb the stairs at Mt. Baldhead and delight in the breathtaking views; pack a picnic and lose track of time along the Lakeshore.
