Notes:The trailhead for this short trail through the dunes to the beach is located in the middle of the Carter Lake Campground. The campground is closed in the winter, but the Taylor Dunes Trailhead, located at the same entrance road, is open year around. A nice loop can be made by combining the two trails, the Taylor Dunes Trail, and the Carter Dunes Trail.
