Top Summer Road Trips in Michigan

The Red Arrow Highway from New Buffalo to St. Joseph trip offers beaches, art galleries, and antiques. We will head north from New Buffalo on Red Arrow Highway along Lake Michigan to explore the quaint coastal villages of Union Pier, Lakeside, and Harbert on your way to St. Joseph. Lake Michigan heavily influences the region's climate; orchards and vineyards check the landscape. Sample wines at tasting rooms for over a dozen wineries along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail and bring a few bottles home to open while sharing the memories. A must-see on this trip is Weko Beach. You'll follow the signs from Red Arrow Highway in Bridgman to this beautiful stretch of Lake Michigan beach. Day passes are available or reserve a campsite and catch one of Weko Beach's famous sunsets.

The M-22 is well-known for its many scenic destinations along its northern reaches in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. On a hot summer day, the beach at Arcadia is the perfect place for a refreshing swim along the sandy shore. After a dip in the "Big Lake," head north along M-22 for scenic vistas from the tops of the wooded hills to the Lake Michigan port city of Frankfort. Be sure to grab a Michigan craft beer at StormCloud Brewing Company and stroll along Frankfort's pier to the photogenic lighthouse.

The US 23 from Tawas City to Alpena trip is often overlooked by travelers best known for chasing the sunrise. From M-55 in Tawas City, US, 23 skirts the Lake Huron shoreline through the Oscoda and Harrisville coastal villages on its way north to Alpena. Pack a picnic and enjoy the scenery at Alpena's waterfront park adjacent to the marina on the shores of Thunder Bay. Sturgeon Point Lighthouse is a must-see when traveling this route.
