Kick off your new year by joining our Land Protection Director, April Scholtz, for an 11 AM hike of Ottawa Sands on New Years Day. This will be a great opportunity learn more about the partnership project between the Land Conservancy and Ottawa County Parks, as well as a chance to take in some stunning, wintry views of the new park.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending. Meet at the entrance gate to the property, on the south side of North Shore Drive just west of Coast Guard Park. There are limited parking spaces near the entrance gate, more across the road at Coast Guard Park, and more slightly further away at North Beach Park. From there, we will hike into the property, around the lake, and out to the Grand River shoreline. It shouldn’t take more than 1.5 hours to cover about 2.5 miles. Prepare to walk on an unpaved trail and some uneven ground. Dress for the conditions, and you can always look forward to the warmth of restaurants/bars in nearby Spring Lake and Grand Haven afterward!
