The Redwyn Dunes Nature Sanctuary has a one-mile trail through beautiful stable dunes covered with red oak and pine. The trail also weaves around dune ponds used by migrating waterfowl. This is a nice hike for all ages.

The trail is in a Michigan Nature Association Sanctuary and all sanctuary rules apply. Collecting plants, seeds, or animals or any kind is strictly forbidden. Stay on established trails. Only foot traffic is allowed - the use of all motorized vehicles or mountain bikes is prohibited. No hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, campfires, or pets are permitted. Carry out all refuse. Leave only footprints, take only pictures.

DIRECTIONS: From Calumet take US-41/M-26 north to Phoenix. Turn left onto M-26 to Eagle River. From the village of Eagle River take M-26 north three miles to the Jam Pot Bakery, then about a half-mile to the sanctuary sign and trailhead on the right side of the road.
