Confirmed from Juno Dunes Natural Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
569-acre reserve with miles of trails & canoe/kayak access, plus an observation tower & a boardwalk.
What runners say about Juno Dunes Natural Area
“Beautiful looks like the dunes at the Mational Lake Shore on Lake Michigan.”
“I did the west loop with a couple of extensions/side trails - if you go to the pond there’s an observation tower and a quiet and serene boat dock, where you can spot some raccoons.”
Beautifully maintained natural area. Concrete sidewalk covers the first section of the wildlife walk. Watch out for wildlife and Cactus that might be a little too close as you meander the pathway. Various signs of wildlife will be evident so watch your step and be careful.
Went on Sunday morning (November 24). The weather was amazing, no bugs, very few hikers in the area. I did the west loop with a couple of extensions/side trails - if you go to the pond there’s an observation tower and a quiet and serene boat dock, where you can spot some raccoons.
Awesome park for a hike or whatever you want. I thought it’d be busy, but there is plenty of space for walking, not much of a parking lot though...have some buggys for the trail also...will return when I’m traveling by.
Great hiking trails! Bring plenty of water. Enjoy the views and nature. Parking is free and the location is easy to find.
