If you want to avoid Florida's crowds and still experience the sights and sounds of an ocean-like body of water, Harbor Country in Southwest Michigan is a perfect northern getaway, both in and out of season. Harbor Country has been variously described as 'the Hamptons of the Midwest' and 'the Riviera of Lake Michigan,' yet the area has maintained its rustic origins, recalling the more prosperous era of the 1920's and 1930's. We left Indianapolis Labor Day weekend for the scenic setting of Michigan's Harbor Country. Leaf-peep, pick apples, prowl shops, dine on everything from burgers to artichoke and porcini risotto. Along the southernmost stretch of the state's Lake Michigan shore, soft, cool breezes stir sleepy port towns that rise amid the dunes.
