Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Pictured Rocks are the first official National Lakeshore in the U.S. and are located along the Upper Peninsula’s stunning Lake Superior shoreline. It is home to spectacular rock formations, waterfalls, and caves and is named after the area’s colorful rock formations. 

Hidden among its landscapes are cascading waterfalls such as Munising Falls and Sable Falls, while hiking trails trek through all the fantastic nature.

Detroit is a diverse cultural center that has significantly contributed to art, architecture, and music. New developments, businesses, and attractions have recently breathed life into its lively streets. With its beautiful Art Deco architecture, wonderful waterfront, and large and vibrant theater district, Detroit is an excellent place to visit.

Mackinac Island

Separating Lake Michigan from Lake Huron, the gorgeous island Mackinac has long been a popular tourist destination. The island is noted for its myriad of extravagant Victorian-era buildings like the Grand Hotel.

Around the ferry port, visitors can find historic shops, restaurants, and famous fudge. In addition, it has plenty of nature to explore, with hiking, biking, and horse-drawn buggy rides among those popular activities.

Although it is car-free, Mackinac Island is car-free but can get very crowded at weekends and during the summer months. To get a natural feel for the island, it is worthwhile staying in one of its historical inns or cozy BnBs.
