Finding this trailhead can be challenging. The shelter at the trailhead is to the right of Dune Dogz - a hot dog joint on the East side of the road. Parking is another matter. You drive down to Black Lake Boardwalk or any of the other SMALL parking areas on the opposite side of the road. There's a small beach across from the Macatawa Campground that would work too. A nice weather weekend & you could be out of luck. Parking was crazy the weekend I was there.

This is the only trail at Holland State Park. Dogs aren't allowed on the stairs. There are MANY steep stairs. The view is good if weather is good. Don't bother going up when visibility is poor.
The boardwalk continues into the woods where it turns into a wide dirt trail. This is the loop part through the woods. Signage was good & it's a well traveled trail.
It was enjoyable & there was a lot of bird song.
All Trails says this is a 1.8 mile trail. I would rate it moderate for the loop & strenuous for the stairs.

I hate steps, but there are some decent views from the top. Norhing too spectacular. There are some easy hiking trials in the woods on the dunes. The trails are well marked once you are off the wooden walkway. It maybe took us an hour to do the big loop. Minimal parking. We started at Holland State Park and walked 20 minutes there. There is a free museum about the pump house for a quick stop on the way there or back with a water bottle refill. The entrance is under the wood structure next to the small eatery.

Mount Pisgah was one of the places we wanted to visit the most on our trip to Holland. After climbing the 300 steps (which are numbered) the view of the lighthouse and Lake Michigan was great. We were there in the evening so there wasn't a lot of people there, and the summer heat was more subdued.

Don’t go to Holland during a Tulip festival! It gets very crowded esp in downtown and you will be wasting a lot of time standing in lines or trying to find parking. Choose a non busy weekend/weekday to go if you are trying to stay away from crowd

Mt. Pisgah was a great little walk/climb/view in the Holland State Park area.

Parking here can certainly be a challenge, as there isn't much to go around (it's a much easier access if you're camping at the adjacent Holland State Park). We parked a bit down the road at a lakeside public parking area, and walked about the 1/4 mile back down the road (on sidewalks) to the park entrance. The park entrance is a bit hidden, but there is an "interpretative" station by the sidewalk.

From there, it's a relatively short walk through the woods on a paved path (at some point, bicycles are no longer allowed). From there, wooden steps take you up to the top of the hill area. While there are a lot of stairs to climb, there are lots of benches and landing areas to stop and rest and/or view during the climb.

The payoff is at the top, where there are views of both Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. There are more benches at the top, allowing for some good viewing. There was also an elevated walkway that went deeper into the woods; we did not walk too far down it, but the explorer part of myself was curious as to where that led....I'm guessing to some point in the State Park.

All in all, this is a great physical activity, combined with some great views of the area.

We stopped here after a beach day, as it's walking distance from the beach. Entrance is interestingly placed on a somewhat busy street but once you are through and start the stair climb, it is very quiet and serene. It started raining a bit when we went, so it wasn't crowded at all. Look down at the steps every so often as they are numbered. Views were fantastic, nice breeze at the top and plenty of platforms and benches to take a breather if you need to.

Staircase up to the top of the dunes with beautiful views of both Lake Michigan and lake Macatawa. I went in the off-season so I’m sure that the small parking lot coupled with the sheer amount of people that may be trying to go up and down the staircase especially this year with Covid would be concerning. However when I went it was off-season the crowds were minimal but I will say people were not wearing masks. Apparently there are trails that lead to campgrounds for the state park down below. I started down to those thinking I would go down to Holland state park. However there were too many runners again not wearing masks so I just turned around and drove to the state park and enjoyed my time there as well.

We visited on a family day out, teens, parents and grandparents. It was hot and sunny and we all enjoyed the climb up the steps. There are several areas to stop and rest, if needed and the steps are not too steep.
The view of the lake,at the top, wasbeautiful and well worth the climb.

This was a fun hike, and even all the steps were fun. We did this hike for the view of Big Red and the view of the area was very nice. We walked farther through the forest and would have even done more hiking, but it started raining a bit. The area was well kept.

This is a lovely hike up some steps to a great view of Lake Michigan. Additionally there are hiking trails in a nature preserve where the steps/view are located. It does not take long but was very pleasant. Additionally the Holland State Park is nearby.
