Description
Golden Beach Walk
This winter gold dune borders Oval Beach in Saugatuck, Michigan USA. A perfect demonstration of sand movement, its 40 foot stature sits where the Kalamazoo River mouth used to empty into Lake Michigan before the 1800's. In 1901, engineers rerouted the river mouth a quarter mile down the shoreline to better accommodate cruise ships and cargo ships arriving from Chicago and Milwaukee. Part of the abandoned dock pilings which bordered the river mouth can be seen in the background.The sign (center left) designates the recently city acquired 200 acre parcel of grassy dunes behind it. Now entitled The Saugatuck Harbor Natural Area, it was rescued from development in 2011.
