Welcome to Pure Michigan's Great Lakes Bay Region

Wash away your cares in the calm waters of Lake Huron. Drift away on a river cruise, or sail off into the sunset on a tall ship. Get your catch of the day from a top-notch walleye fishery, or catch views from the top of a forest on America’s longest canopy walk. In the Great Lakes Bay, six alluring cities are calling you to coast on a summer breeze.
