Things to Do
The Nature Center makes a great start for your visit to Whitefish Dunes State Park. The friendly staff will help you become acquainted with all the recreational opportunities and natural wonders of the park.
Go through the exhibits to learn about the rare local ecosystem, shipwrecks and archaeology in the park. View a 20-minute movie, “People of the Dunes” to learn more about the ancient peoples that inhabited the area. Don’t forget to check out the great view from the center’s deck which highlights Whitefish Dunes’ Lake Michigan shoreline and our Selfie Stand!
Throughout the year, the park’s naturalist presents a wide array of fun-filled educational and outdoor recreation programs. The programs are held at the nature center or other spots within the park. There are programs for all interests and age levels.
