Empire Bluff Trail

"WOW!!! I've been to the Frankfort/Empire area for a while now and NEVER discovered this trail, until today. This is a beautiful 1.5 mile out and back trail. Lots of scenery and surroundings. Small 170ft elevation throughout the hike. Decent size parking lot. This hike is worth your time."

"A short but sweet out and back. Just because it is short doesn't mean you don't have to work for it. It is a constant incline to amazing views, then a relaxed hike back. It was beautiful because we went during peak!"

"We came across this place as we are traveling from Philly on our family road trip vacation around the Great Lakes. It is a beautiful overlook and can see for what seems to be for miles across Lake Michigan. I did not expect the water to be so blue, tropical blue. This is an easy walk so make sure you make it to the end, you won't regret it."

"Beautiful views 1.5 Mike out and back loop. Part in the woods is a decent uphill walk . The next part is along a wooden fence on a narrow wooden walk way which can be a little slick with sand on it. Return walkers walk on the ground next to it. A short walk to beautiful views. If you continue walking is a path more than a wide trail that leads to a large sand bowl that kids can run down"

"An absolute incredible trail that is easy enough for everyone to enjoy. Maybe 1 1/2 miles total. Great for all the family. There is two overlooks along the way and the trail ends up where you can continue on along the sands dunes if you wish. Great views of Lake Michigan and the main part of the park. Be carefully of poison I've right of the trail."
