Overview

High Point is a scenic overlook in Michigan — a vantage point set aside for the view. Overlooks like this frame Michigan's best scenery: Great Lakes shoreline and dunes, river valleys, inland lakes, forest canopy and fall color. Many are roadside pull-offs or short walks from a trailhead, making them an easy stop for photography or a break on a longer outing.

The best light is usually early morning or near sunset, and autumn brings the most dramatic color. Conditions and access can change seasonally, so check ahead in winter. Look under related places for the trails, parks and waters that share this view.
