North Bar Lake in Empire Township, Michigan is a popular destination within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Its shallow, clear water and sandy bottom provide a warmer swimming experience compared to Lake Michigan, while still offering the option to walk across the dunes and enjoy the refreshing cool water and wave action of the big lake.
The beach at North Bar Lake is perfect for families, with pure sand and a small outlet to Lake Michigan for the kids to play. Visitors can also take a hike over the dune that separates the two lakes and explore the native dune plants, such as dune grass and pitcher's thistle. From the Lake Michigan beach, one can walk along the shore to the bluffs below the Pierce Stocking Drive Lake Michigan Overlook Platform, providing a stunning perspective of the size and steepness of the bluffs.
