Houghton Lake
If you're looking for high quality fun, Houghton Lake is your answer! As one of Michigan's largest inland lakes, it's full of opportunities for tubing, skiing, water sports, and more! Plus, the surrounding area is full of parks and other lakes for you to enjoy.
Frankfort
Near the very top of the Lower Peninsula, Frankfort is one of Michigan's best hidden treasures. It's a welcome getaway from the hustle and bustle of tourist towns while also containing all the benefits of a northern Michigan tourist town. It's the best of both worlds!
Isle Royale
Located on a remote island cluster near the Canadian border, Isle Royale is the ultimate escape from civilization. It's a car-free paradise full of lush forests, beautiful lakes, and roaming moose and wolves. At 45 miles in length, it's the largest island in Lake Superior!
Caseville
Known for their annual "Cheeseburger Festival", this exciting destination provides a scenic drive that provides the perfect view of the Saginaw Bay and its islands! Throughout the year, there are events, festivals, and plenty of fun for groups of any age! It's worth the journey to make it to one of Michigan's best beaches!
Tawas
From Lake Huron to the Au Sable river, Tawas Bay is one of Michigan's most breathtaking destinations. Enjoy the water on the beautiful bay, shop around at the wide range of stores, and grab a bite at an fun lakeside restaurant! Tawas City, Bay, and East Tawas have everything you're looking for in a vacation spot and more!
Whitefish Township
Whitefish Township, located next to the Whitefish Bay, is a stone's throw away from Ontario. It's easy to navigate due to the Soo Locks, so you'll be able to get where you want very quickly. Plus, Whitefish Point's museum contains the bell from the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, and provides scuba diving opportunities to explore some of the sunken ships underwater!
Port Austin
Sitting at the tip of the "thumb", Port Austin is renowned for the famous Turnip Rock. While many take advantage of the kayaking opportunities to get pictures of the rock formation, there are plenty of hiking trails, shops, beaches, and water sport activities for you to enjoy, too!
Old Mission
The Old Mission Peninsula contains spectacular and breathtaking landscapes and view of Lake Michigan. Lots of people make a trip up to Traverse City each summer, but most don't take the time to drive up the the peninsula. We highly recommend a sunset drive up this beautiful stretch of land.
Paradise
The name speaks for itself: this stunning getaway is a paradise in and of itself. Visit the Tahquamenon Falls, the Shipwreck Museum, and the wide variety of state parks and exciting activities on Lake Superior and the surrounding areas!
Glen Arbor
Northern Michigan's greatest treasure! Known as one of the most beautiful places in the world, Glen Arbor is home to the famous Sleeping Bear Dunes and offers some of the most incredible beachfront in the state. You can also spend a day floating down the Platte River on inner tubes, explore downtown Glen Arbor, and take a trip on the biking and hiking trails.
