Michigan Lakes & Trails

MICHIGAN MICHIGAN LAKES & TRAILS

Sandwiched between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, northern Michigan’s Lower Peninsula is known for its gorgeous lakes and bike trails. On our special 7-day tour there, you stay in stylish lodgings, see the best of the region with minimal shuttle time and enjoy the best sights — including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and a night on Mackinac Island.

Spinning through forests and along lakes, you bike the highlights of this region, which is wellknown for its scenic vistas and fascinating landscapes — including the dramatic dunes along Lake Michigan. Visit the numerous quaint towns, sandy beaches, orchards, farms, breweries and vineyards.

Learn the history of a dramatic lighthouse and visit lovely Traverse City. Pedal to Charlevoix and see the famous “mushroom houses.”

Then cycle the “Tunnel of Trees” and the Lake Michigan shoreline. And visit the picturesque town of Petoskey — where you walk in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway.

Follow a rail trail and take the ferry to Mackincac Island, where you spend a night in car-free bliss ... and pedal around the entire island.

Return to the mainland for your final day, after which we shuttle you back to Traverse City to say farewell.
