    Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

    Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a pet-friendly destination in Empire, MI. However, keeping your pets away from birds and their nests during your visit is essential. This area has only 70 breeding pairs of piping plovers, an endangered bird where one-third of them nest at Lakeshore. Your furry friend is permitted in most of the park, but be sure to watch for areas with the "no pet" signs. Visit Website

    Or call (231) 326-4700 or email sleepingbearinfo@nps.gov for more information.
