Back corner of Lost Lake.
My kids love climbing the hills, and walking on the fallen tree "bridges".
Access to the lake.
Lost Lake again.
Along the bottom of the dune, the lake is mostly swamp, very beautiful swamp.
My daughter was quite enthralled by these emerging ferns.
She was also quick to point out this interesting tree base with fungi and moss.
Very interesting, how this tree looks as it decays.
Here we are at the dune ridge, taking a break. It was a long uphill climb even for the dogs!
In the background here, we can see the paper mill. Muskegon Lake, for all of its beauty, is also surrounded by industry. For me, the two sides, nature and industry, are inseparable.
We can see a dried up lake bed nestled between the dunes.
Trees and bushes in the dunes have a twisted, almost unnatural, way of growing sometimes.
Another view of the paper mill across Muskegon Lake. Can you see the two swans?
Our very happy dogs, Cedar and Morgan, taking a cool bath after a long walk. Next time I'm bringing my swimsuit!
Let me know if you like my pictures, by leaving a comment!
In the distance I can see the smoke stack of our power plant. 
I was at the top of a large sand dune when I snapped this photo of Lost Lake.
Here is a distant photo of the Muskegon Block House. From it I can see everywhere. It was built as a fort or a look out, for soldiers to survey the land.
Lost Lake is in the background of these shadowed trees.
Lost Lake.
Lost Lake.
This is Lost Lake, with the dune I was standing on for a previous photo, in the background.
Little seedlings in the woodland floor.
The brightest emerald green moss, at least brighter than the stuff in my woods.
Cedar Swamp.
Sunlight shining through the young Cedars.
The roots of a fallen Cedar pull the soft swampy ground up along with it.
Back to the truck. This is Snug Harbor and the swans love to hang out here.
