The Potawatomi Trail starts at the South end of the parking area. As you start from #7 and hike to # 8, it is 1.8 miles. The loopback trail has Lake Huron pretty much within an eyes view. The total distance is 3.9 miles.

Eventually, the trail and Lake State Railway line run parallel together. These tracks were the more well-known railway line called the Detroit and Mackinac line. In 1992 it was bought by Lake State Railway Company (LSRC).
The trail on the hike back to the parking area becomes quite sandy in spots because of being close to the shoreline.
There is a strip of forest between the trail and lake, but you get these openings and catch a distant view of Lake Huron. Especially on a windy day (you can see the whitecaps), the sound of the surf was loud and could be heard even if the lake was out of view.
These are pictures from a hike on August 27, 2021.
