Top 10 Other Outdoor Activities in Michigan, United States

April 17, 2022 Merry Kessler

Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

Dequindre Cut

Reviewed By Elizabeth5434 - Grand Rapids, United States

We were there on a gorgeous Saturday and loved seeing everyone out walking, biking, etc. One fo my favorite things to do when visiting a city is to get out and walk. The Cut was the perfect place. We started at the Riverfront (parking at Cullen plaza, walking to harbor, and crossing Atwater) and walked about a mile along the cut, passing murals along the way. Many others were out enjoying the day - walkers, bikers, skateboarders. Lovely way to spend the afternoon and get exercise in too.

Great afternoon with my teenage boys and my dad, fishing for Lake Trout, he knew right where they were biting, and we limited out.

Amazing experience for our family! We went on a food web educational sail with Inland Seas this past weekend and it was wonderful. Though it rained, it was a great adventure. The crew and instructions took time to teach us about sailing and the Lake Michigan food web. Highly recommend!

This place was incredible! Easy to find, super friendly staff and amazing price! Everyone was so helpful and we signed up for the 4.5 hour kayaking, and so pleased we did! This place was beautiful and easy to navigate. We were given a ride to the starting point and was assured someone would pick us up at the end and give us a ride back to the parking lot. Everything was effortless and so, so much fun! Do not hesitate to go here and spend a few hours just enjoying life!! Thank you so much for such a great day!

Iargo Springs

Reviewed By rcw923 - Canton, United States

This was hands down the best stop on the River Road Scenic anyway. It is 300 steps to get down (and back up) but there are platforms and benches along the way to stop and rest. When you get down to the bottom, there is a long network of boardwalks and lookout points along the River. We had thought that the springs was just 1 spring (the water falling over the logs that is in so many pictures). It’s actually a huge network of springs. It is so peaceful, I could have spent longer there just listening to the springs and enjoying the sounds of nature. I can see why the Native Americans viewed it as a spiritual place because I felt it!
