July 25, 2026, Saugatuck Dunes State Park
July 25 is St. James Day, the day of our annual Camino hike, a longer walk than usual. We’ll meet in the parking lot of Saugatuck Dunes State Park (not the Felt Mansion) and start at 9 AM – earlier than our normal 10:30. We’ll walk through the Patti Birkholtz Preserve to the beach and back – a five-mile loop with a couple of hills.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF TICKS. One of our fellow hikers has come down with Lyme Disease. Plan to treat your clothing with a product containing 0.5% permethrin AND use an EPA-registered insect repellent.
