Autumn performs in a glorious riot of color for visitors to northern Michigan.
Lush farms and pastureland are still an important part of the northern Michigan landscape and economy, while the friendliness of small town residents makes visitors feel welcome. Lake Michigan provides miles of beach for sunning and funning in northern Lower Michigan. Inland lakes, too, provide great places to swim, windsurf, build sand castles, or chase a wave. Northern Michigan has been ranked fifth in the nation as a golf destination. You can't argue that views add scenic drama to the challenge of courses designed by the sport's top architects.
