This challenging trail leads you onto Pinery's oldest and largest dune ridge affording a view of most of the park, Lake Huron and adjacent farmland. Observe the dramatic re-growth of plant life that has occurred after the controlled burn of 1993.

The trail has some steep grades with wooden stairs. Interpretive panels along the trail explain about oak savanna here on Lake Huron, vast waves of sand dunes roll back from the shore to meet groups of towering oaks, the largest oak savanna woodlands remaining in North America. These ancient trees preside over a mosaic of prairie grasses, wildflowers and shrubs.
