There are two photograph pairs from the Meinert Park area of Muskegon County. While the two pairs are from different spots with the coastal park, both show a considerable amount of change since the original photographs were captured in 1987. Vegetation has expanded, Little Flower Creek has changed its path, and the Lake Michigan shoreline is farther west in 2019. This is not to suggest that lake levels have fallen, but instead it appears large, vegetated, stable shoreline foredunes have formed in the last 30 years where the shore once was located.
