WHAT TO EXPECT
Autumn sweeps in with a splash of color that peaks in early- to mid-October, lingering just a bit longer so latecomers can enjoy the eye-candy. Cool, comfortable afternoons slip into chilly fall nights — best spent on one of our outdoor patios by the cozy heat lamps and fire bars.

Pants and long-sleeves, sweatshirts and sweaters. Throw in some light outerwear (and even a few different jacket-warmths) so you can flip what you’re wearing easily from day to night.
Things To Do
Find yourself sampling at apple orchards, sauntering through pumpkin patches & corn mazes, and enjoying delicious mulled wine with friends. Whether you hike, bike, or sit back and sip cider together, discover the best of fall in Pure Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region!
