Lush forests and scenic trails are spectacular any time of year. But the experience? It’s entirely different in each Pure Michigan season.

As if sparkling freshwaters and 100 miles of scenic trails weren’t enough — these outdoor excursions will draw you in even closer to nature.

Spend a weekend finessing your long drives at two top Michigan golf courses or an afternoon sharpening up your short game at more than two dozen others — and know that an under-par scorecard isn’t the prettiest sight you’ll see here.

Find more than you came for at these apple orchards and pumpkin farms, cider mills and berry patches: in a taste of the Great Lakes Bay that’s pure and perfectly simple.

In any season and however you’ll see them — discover our Great Lakes Bay trails’ most flawless miles.

With unspoiled miles of regional trail and mountain biking loops through Midland City Forest, this place has paths that can soothe the soul or satisfy an adventurous spirit.

Thanks to its unique real estate where two biotic provinces overlap — bringing a blend of flora and fauna you won't find anyplace else — the Great Lakes Bay is a birder’s oasis.

When our green spaces get covered in a blanket of winter-white, these parks take on a whole new charm.
