The Huron-Manistee National Forests comprise almost a million acres of public lands extending across the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. These lands provide recreation opportunities for visitors, habitat for fish and wildlife, and resources for local industry. The Cadillac-Manistee Ranger District is the northernmost District on the Manistee portion of the Huron-Manistee National Forests.

The town of Manistee is located on Lake Michigan and borders the western portion of the District. The district encompasses an area as far north to Mesick, east to Cadillac, and south to Freesoil.
Nordhouse Dunes was designated a Wilderness Area by Congress in 1987. Dune grass covers many of the dunes and provides habitat for a variety of plant and wildlife species, including the federally endangered Pitcher’s Thistle and Piping Plover. The Nordhouse Dunes encompasses 3,450 acres of National Forest. Nordhouse Dunes is part of the Ludington Dune Ecosystem, which also includes the Lake Michigan Recreation Area and Ludington State Park. The dunes were formed 3,500 to 4,000 years ago and stand up to 140 feet high. The wilderness area is popular for hiking, camping, hunting, nature study and wildlife viewing.
