Just outside of Arcadia and right on M-22, Inspiration Point is a special place of interest, being the highest point on the shore of West Michigan. Also known as Arcadia Overlook, Inspiration Point in Benzie County offers a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and the surrounding topography.
Even before the official overlook was built, locals used to climb the dune for the tallest view around. Now, with viewing decks and 210 stairs, people can easily obtain this breathtaking view. Climbing all the way to the top, an 80 foot vertical ascend from the bottom deck, you feel on top of the world looking over the lake and the whole county. A telescope is available to make your view more clear and catch a glimpse of any passing ships and sailboats.
