THE TREAT FARM : EMPIRE
The Treat Farm is a thrilling abandoned farmstead right smack dab next to the Empire Dunes and Lake Michigan. This is a great hike with a wonderful view. The hike (or should I say dune dance down) to Lake Michigan is invigorating, although the trudge back up is a completely different story. All I will say is on the hike UP the dunes many breaks are needed. Once down at the lake it’s like your own private beach with mesmerizing waves and wildlife. I love hiking around the area and trying to peer into the old windows on my tippy toes and imagine the peaceful times of farming right next to lake Michigan and one of the best views in the county.
