点评:We have visited SBD many times over the years. This was our first time going after the overlook was taken out. There are plenty of amazing stops at this park. The main section of the park, the Pierce Stocking Drive, is a great section of the park for everybody. It is a fantastic stop for those who are not able to ambulate much further than their car, to the most avid hiker. The Cottonwood Trail offers a unique hiking experience along the Pierce Stocking Drive. There are a handful of gorgeous views as well that showcase Lake Michigan, North Bar Lake, and Glen Lake, among others. The Covered Bridge at the beginning of the Scenic Drive is one of Michigan's most iconic structures. Some notable non-Scenic Drive stops include Alligator Hill, Glen Haven, North Bar Lake, the Dune Climb and Pyramid Point. Glen Haven Beach is my favorite beach in the state. The Sleeping Bear Dunes Heritage Trail is a popular biking trail that connects the town of Empire with Little Traverse Lake, with the trail meandering through the park. The winter time is a beautiful time to explore the park, with incredible cross country skiing and snowshoe trail available. Park staff are very friendly. Admission fee varies depending on the length of your visit. We always opt for the season pass! Crowds are a hit or miss depending on the time of year, with most days in the summer being packed, even on weekdays. Best part of NW Michigan is this park!
翻译:这些年来,我们去过SBD很多次。这是观景台被拆除后我们第一次去。这个公园有很多令人惊叹的景点。公园的主要区域皮尔斯·斯托金大道(Pierce Stocking Drive)是适合所有人的绝佳去处。无论是那些无法比开车走得更远的人,还是最狂热的徒步旅行者,这都是一个绝佳的休憩之所。沿着皮尔斯·斯托金大道,棉白杨步道(Cottonwood Trail)可以享受独特的徒步体验。沿途还可以欣赏到密歇根湖、北巴湖(North Bar Lake)和格伦湖(Glen Lake)等众多壮丽景色。风景道起点处的廊桥是密歇根州最具标志性的建筑之一。一些值得一提的非风景道景点包括鳄鱼山(Alligator Hill)、格伦港(Glen Haven)、北巴湖(North Bar Lake)、沙丘攀登(Dune Climb)和金字塔岬(Pyramid Point)。格伦港海滩(Glen Haven Beach)是我在密歇根州最喜欢的海滩。睡熊沙丘遗产步道(Sleeping Bear Dunes Heritage Trail)是一条热门的自行车道,连接帝国镇(Empire)和小特拉弗斯湖(Little Traverse Lake),蜿蜒穿过公园。冬季是探索公园的绝佳时节,这里有令人惊叹的越野滑雪和雪鞋步道。公园工作人员非常友好。门票价格根据游玩时长而有所不同。我们总是选择季票!公园的客流量会根据季节而变化,夏季大多数日子都人满为患,即使是工作日也是如此。密歇根州西北部最棒的地方就是这个公园!
