Here are must-see places to visit in the Great Lakes State.
1.
This gem known as the “Paradise of the Midwest” in Oceana County has something for everyone. A popular choice is to take an ORV or jeep
– rented or your own – for a spin across the rising and falling hills. In fact, it’s the only spot east of Utah where you can drive a privatized vehicle
on sand dunes. Mac Woods Dune Rides is also around to give you the dune riding experience if you don’t want to go yourself. If an ORV isn’t your style, head to the water and enjoy some time at the beach after an invigorating dune climb. To pick up some fresh snacks to bring along on your adventures, visit Fox Barn Market & Winery, Lewis Farm Market & Petting Farm, or Rennhack Orchards Market for the latest in-season goods.
NEARBY: The Wood Shed Bike Shop has bike rentals for riding on the 22.7 mile, paved Hart-Montague Rail Trail and travels through several small towns.
2.
Have an “up north” experience on the Sunrise Side of the state in the Tawas Bay area. A main natural attraction is Iargo Springs, a series of natural springs originating from the Au Sable River in the form of small waterfalls. The springs can only be reached by taking the boardwalk and walking down 300 stairs, and when you reach the bottom, you’ll come to feel a sense of awe and peace in the presence of the falling water – not the mention the picturesque view of the Au Sable.
NEARBY: Alpena, a perfect day trip 65 miles to the north, is home to the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center. Go on a glass bottom boat tour and explore the displays at the Heritage Center.
