There are some spots in Michigan so beautiful that spending time there can feel like you’ve entered an entirely new world.

[Busbud](https://www.busbud.com/blog/top-instagrammed-locations/?ref=dailydetroit.com) has shared their list of the most Instagrammed places in the United State and Canada, and the top place in Michigan is the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. 

Located along Lake Michigan’s sweeping shoreline between Muskegon and Ludington, Silver Lake Sand Dunes State Park is one of the most picturesque and dynamic landscapes in the Great Lakes region, consisting of more than 2,000 acres of dunes. 

We cruised Instagram for the hashtag, #silverlakesanddunes and pulled a few of our favorite photos of this magical place to share.

From Sunrise to Sunset, this area is the definition of pure Michigan.

The lake and dunes offer an endless array of things to do, from strolling the dunes, to sand boarding and off roading.

Sadly, as summer comes to a close, so do the dunes. Officially, the dunes are slated to close on October 31st, so if you’re hoping to leave some footprints in the sand before the season ends, you better do it quick! The dunes will reopen on April 1st, 2016.
