Not worth the 303 steps. Climbed all the way up just to find out that you can barely see Lake Michigan from the top and have to walk down the sand dunes or something to see it. The view of Kalamazoo Lake is decent but not what I went for at all. Might be better in winter when there aren’t any leaves on the trees but other than that NOT WORTH IT.

I was surprised it was so busy. I loved walking up these stairs and the views are amazing. Careful walking down the stairs when wet because they are slippery.

Mount Baldhead Park is connect to Oval Beach. If you want to go to Oval Beach, there are other paths too 303 wooden steps up 250 feet to the top of the Mt. Baldhead dune. Very challenging indeed especially in the summer. There are some shades along the staircase and breakpoint. Once you get on top to the observation platform, you can get a nice view of the Kalamazoo river bend. Come here early... Mount Baldhead Park is connect to Oval Beach.

Come here early because parking lot is small. After lunch, people swamp in and police have to close the street.

I had my rehearsal dinner there at the covered pavilion picnic area 17 years ago & got married on Oval Beach. We went back to visit for our anniversary & everything looks exactly the same. Beautiful peaceful area. Nice folks everywhere.
