Ridges
Sanctuary
Two Thousand
years ago Lake Michigan reached further inland covering the
Ridges Sanctuary. Wave action and strong winds left large
deposits of sand which created The Ridges. Today these Ridges
are 7 miles of hiking trails that actually follow and cross
the crests of abandoned shorelines. Delicate wildflowers and
threatened plants find their home here. Some are true Boreal
forest species. Throughout the year, over 25 native orchids
bloom in The Ridges. Our guests enjoy the spring and summer
flowers adjacent to the sandy beach. Trailing Arbutus lends
a sweet fragrance to Mother's Day guests, while Yellow and
Showy Lady Slipper orchids nod colorfully in sun-speckled
forest openings in early summer.
