Odd hour

Old Baldy is the tallest and oldest sand dune in Oceana county. There are three ways to get to the top:


 * 1) Walk straight up the main path that exits into Charles Mears campground. This is the shortest but hardest way up, and is much more fun to run down than walk up.
 * 2) Take the official Old Baldy trail, a scenic, gently sloping route complete with a wooden boardwalk. The entrance can be found in the northeast edge of the campground.
 * 3) Find the hidden path that starts on North Beech St. on the way to the McVoy cottage. The path begins with wood steps tucked away in the forest surrounding the road. Look on the south side of the street, near the "Sound Horn" sign.

Once you make it to the top, take a moment to enjoy the view and say "Ahh, Beautiful Pentwater!." When you're ready, take off and run all the way down Old Baldy, then maybe go grab a sno-cone.
