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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

It's good hike up quite a few stairs. There are a fair amount of steps but there are platforms and some benches to rest on the way up. Though I don't recall Whether or not benches at the top to rest and enjoy scenery. Views are decent for a few good picture opportunities. I'd say a great place to hike up and down for a regular exercise routine . Parking situation isn't great or easy to find. It's a walk from available parking.

If your going to the Holland State Park you won't want to miss this spot for a great view of Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Before staring up the stairs, you will want to park in the Black Lake Boardwalk East Parking Lot. This lot is just west of the entrance trail for Mt. Pisgah. Parking in the middle of a summer day may not be easy in this area. Suggestion for the summertime, if you're not camping in the area or staying at a local hotel or B & B, for better parking go early morning or just before sunset (bring a flashlight for after the sun sets). It is a very strenuous hike to the top over 200 stairs, there are areas to rest along the way, but please take this into account before you start up. There is a landing/look out area at the top, stay as long as you would like. Once or twice a year, you may see the Ottawa County Parks Dept. hosting a bird/raptor watch. Feel free to join in the watch and the conversation. It is very educational. We have done this twice. Because the only way to the top is the stairs, there is bike and stroller parking at the bottom of the stairs. In the summer many of the campers and joggers in the area will make a trek to the top. Because of the dune erosion, please, please, please, stay in specially marked areas and off the dunes, as temping as it may be. Dunes are a fragile eco system in Holland, please observe this. There is a trail near the top, you can take, once again, please stay on the trail. If you want to play in the sand, head to the beach via the road or the trail. If you want to run down a dune, head to Silver Lake State Park about 2 hours north.
