A must see - a few minutes away. Nature trail. Part of Arcadia Dunes Nature Preserve, you will find yourself "on top of the county" when you reach the Arcadia Overlook (known as "Inspiration Point"). When you travel through the quaint town of Arcadia, you will find yourself at zero elevation right next to the Lake Michigan shores.
The view doesn't stop here-put on your walking shoes and travel up the 120 steps (80 vertical feet) to the top lookout and gaze out on one of the most picturesque views that truly define Manistee County as "Pure Michigan"
