You’ll want to be out and about cruising the lake or exploring the region. The weather is very changeable, so be prepared! Dining options are a bit limited.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The fall foliage was pretty, but most of the roads weren't in good shape.  We mainly drove through it (south) leaving Munising to get to Kitch-iti-kipi near Manistique--a definite must-see if you're there!
