About the Hoogland Family Nature Preserve
The Hoogland Family Nature Preserve is a beautiful park and tourist attraction located at 4135 South Lake Shore Drive in Harbor Springs, Michigan, United States. Spanning nearly 3,000 feet along Scenic Heritage Route M-119, also known as the Tunnel of Trees, this preserve offers a unique natural experience.
The landscape of the preserve varies, with flat areas on the west side and rolling ridges to the east. The forest is filled with large red oak trees and features a classic maple and beech northern upland forest typical of northwestern Emmet County. In the spring, the woods come alive with trillium, trout lily, spring beauty, and other spring ephemerals.
The preserve was generously donated by the Hoogland Family Foundation, who wanted to protect the lands that held special memories from their family's summer vacations. Situated above the Lake Michigan shore, the area is experiencing rapid growth due to its popularity for summer homes.
Visitors can explore the diverse plant and animal life at the preserve using the iNaturalist guide. By documenting their findings on iNaturalist.org and eBird.org, visitors can contribute to the understanding and conservation of this unique natural area.
To visit the Hoogland Family Nature Preserve, drive north on M-119 from Harbor Springs for 7.7 miles. At the base of a large hill, turn right and look for the small parking area and logo sign on the right. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the beauty and tranquility of this special place.

Reviews of Hoogland Family Nature Preserve
"Great view, proud to see the natural beauty of my state."
"Beautiful short hike with some hills and a beautiful clear stream running. It's fun to walk it year-round to watch the wildflowers change."
"Though it is a smaller preserve it has great trails that are very well and clearly marked. With about 2 and a half miles of trail its is great for a short walk with a dog."
"Beautiful area, trails are clear and marked. There only seems to be enough room to park one car or two if you squeeze at the trailhead though."
"My husband always wanted to see a moose. We did but not standing up. The other animals were also fun to see. Good place to bring kids."
