Learn more about Empire

Tiny Empire punches above its weight as the gateway to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Climb massive sand mountains that reward huffing and puffing with spectacular Lake Michigan panoramas. The Philip A. Hart Visitor Center offers maps for exploring Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive, where each turnout reveals postcard-worthy vistas. Kayak the impossibly clear waters where the lake bottom seems close enough to touch. Little Glen Lake's shallow waters warm up nicely for swimming when Lake Michigan feels too brisk. After beach time, the village's handful of shops and eateries serve visitors with small-town friendliness. For quieter adventures, hike the trails at Pearl Lake Natural Area, where locals go when the national lakeshore gets crowded.
