Cherry Republic | Traverse City

Lake Michigan, one of the largest lakes in the world, offers beautiful beaches and quaint beach towns along its coastlines. This itinerary provides seven days across the Lake Michigan coastline, highlighting some of the best towns, food, and activities. This makes for a great summer vacation, but can also be a relaxing scenic trip in the fall.

Have you visited Michigan? In my opinion, it is one of the most underrated states and one of my absolute favorites to visit! Although I've taken several small trips around the state, I wanted to take my husband and daughter on a full-week adventure! We visited at the end of August / beginning of September. Save yourself hours of planning and follow this family-friendly itinerary that includes 3 cities, 2 national lakeshores, vineyards, hiking, and more! It can also be used for couples, friends, groups, and solo travel.
