I went to Lions Den just for a day, but it was quite enjoyable! It was not hard to find, nor was parking difficult. The hike itself was very pretty. Lots of great spots to throw down a blanket and have a picnic while admiring the stretch of Lake Michigan. There are a few boardwalks, and lots of thin trails that lead into the forest and marsh around it. If you walk a little less than a mile along the main path, you'll come across a flight of stairs. Those stairs will lead you straight down over a creek and to the waters edge. Here, you can walk along the coastline or skip rocks!
