This is a great day trip, or picnic spot. What's nice about this drive is you can do the whole thing and see some spectacular nature ~ truly the very best of Michigan right here. If you get a yearly pass, you can just go for the evening and have a picnic at that favorite spot you picked out the... More

This is a strikingly pleasant drive with scenic views. A relaxing family drive that soothes the traveler! More
