The towering dune east of the Holland State Park is accessible via a boardwalk and stair system. With its apex 157 feet above Lake Michigan, the boardwalk culminates with breathtaking views of Lake Macatawa, marinas, Lake Michigan and Big Red. Mount Pisgah can be accessed off Ottawa Beach Road near Third Avenue in Park Township. Public parking is available at an Ottawa County parking lot near Black Lake Avenue and Ottawa Beach Road. Look for the signage that says "Black Lake Boardwalk East," which will be on your left as you travel west on Ottawa Beach Rd. Park there and walk 800 feet east and cross the road for the trailhead. In the winter, with the leaves off the trees, the soaring views are breathtaking. For more information, please visit https://www.miottawa.org/Parks/beach.htm
