Great little hike close to the popular beach. Nice cool breezes going through on the hot day. I don’t think it really qualifies as a mountain, more like a large hill but still has nice views and fun to walk around! The trails continue after you can to the top of the stairs so don’t miss out on those.

What’s a «Pisgah,» you ask? According to Wikipedia, which, in our culture, has acquired a quasi-scriptural status, Pisgah means«summit» or «peak,» and, biblically, refers to Mount Nebo, directly east of the Jordan River and just northeast of the Dead Sea(31°45.9’N 35°43.1’E). How’s that for 36-word-and-parenthetical-comment answer? More simply, Pisgah was probably a name easily ascribed by the Bible-loving, Dutch-Reformed settlers of this area to a high dune just north of Lake Macatawa, and overlooking Lake Michigan. Today, it’s the site of a well-built 200+ step boardwalk staircase, accessible from Ottawa Beach Road, and also from trails winding through Holland State Park. The week of June 21, 2015, it also was the site of frequent up-down treks by members of my family, having hiked there from a nearby rental. Some went up and down five times in the middle of their morning run or walk, an excellent way to build an appetite for a day in and around Holland, beaching, biking, kayaking, then restauranting, and ice-cream eating. There probably was some wine and craft beer drinking in there, too.

Beautiful stair workout overlooking the State park/lighthouse.
