Flower Creek Dunes Nature Preserve

Flower Creek Dunes Nature Preserve is located on the shoreline of Lake Michigan in the northwest part of Muskegon County, owned and cared for by the Land Conservancy of West Michigan. Established in 2012, the preserve protects outstanding views of Lake Michigan, sand and gravel beach, open dunes, interdunal wetlands, and 64-acres of mesic northern forest. The forest showcases high-quality, second-growth with abundant large dead trees and fallen logs, teaming with fungi, woodpeckers and other forest birds. Notable older hemlocks are present on site, and with careful stewardship from LCWM and community, it will continue to develop important old-growth characteristics. Tree species present include eastern hemlock, American beech, red oak, white pine, sugar maple, and other hardwoods.
