Alligator Hill

"Nice hilly hike. Well groomed but a great workout. No gators to be seen."

"Moderate length hike through the woods. The views are more than worth it."

"Nice easy to moderate hike to an overlook of the Manitou Islands. Grab a trail map at the trailhead and just stay to the left. Younger ones may need more coaxing as the grade stays moderate to the overlook, but nothing too steep. The side trail to Big Glen Lake overlook is an easy add-on from here."

"Loved this trail! I almost dont want to write a review about it because I want to keep it a hidden gem. Must go. Bring a snack and water. You wont regret the views."

"One of my fave hikes. It's a not as grand as Empire Bluffs or Pyramid Point, but it's deff longer, and tougher. There is an option for the easy trail, which is around 4 miles, lots of ups and downs. Or the longer trail which is 6 miles, lots of steep climbs and decents. (Hence the names, bumpy like and alligators back) Only a few good views of Lake Michigan and other lakes, but they sure are breathtaking. Plus the walk through the woods is just lovely. Really good trail to get your heart pumping."
