If you have ever been swimming in Lake Michigan, you know that the water can be quite cold, even during the hottest days of summer. We like the following three beaches at Sleeping Bear Dunes because they all offer access to inland waterways, either along a river or a smaller lake, buffering swimmers from the cold Lake Michigan and ensuring the water is the perfect temperature and depth for swimmers of all ages and abilities.
The Great Lakes region is full of beautiful places to ride a bike. One location we have recently added to our list of favorites is the Little Traverse Wheelway. We appreciate this trail for its ease of use, family-friendliness, and beautiful views of Lake Michigan — and we think you will too!
On our trip to Grand Haven, MI, we stumbled upon a lovely little hike to a secluded Lake Michigan beach at Rosy Mound Natural Area.
