Comprising two peninsulas with over 3,200 miles of coastline lapped by four of the five Great Lakes, Michigan is a haven for water activities.

The Lower Peninsula also offers a bounty of wine trails, seasonal cherry picking, and year-round urban adventures while the untamed Upper Peninsula summons the hardiest outdoor explorers.
