Warren Dunes State Park is a 1,952 acre (7.9 km²) state park, along Lake Michigan, in Berrien County, Michigan, USA. The park is the one of the most visited of Michigan’s state parks with an average one million visitors annually.
The one-mile trail from the campground to the beach crosses some of the park's moderate dunes.
Large sand dunes are found throughout the park. Some of the park's dunes include Mt. Fuller, Pikes Peak, and Mt. Edwards, while the best known is Tower Hill, the highest point in the park, standing 240 feet (73 meters) above the lake. Located beside the beach parking lot, this dune is the most visible to visitors, who often traverse up its slopes.
The area was preserved by a local businessman, Edward K. Warren, who purchased the area, with the sole intention of preserving the fragile environment. By 1930, the area was designated as a state park. [link]
