Shake Off Winter with a Lake Michigan Spring Getaway
While it may not seem like it, the Lake Michigan spring will be here in a matter of weeks. Anyone who has spent time on “The North Coast” during the winter months can tell you why we’re so excited about longer days and warmer weather. As beautiful as the snow-covered landscape can be, spring signifies a highly-anticipated departure from cold air and bitter wind chills. Needless to say, our joy will intensify as the ice melts! And as we inch closer to winter’s end, there’s no better time to start thinking about things to do in West Michigan this spring than now!
5 Things to Add to Your West Michigan Spring Bucket List
With so many unique things to do in West Michigan after the snow and ice are gone, it’s no wonder spring is a fantastic time of year. Our slice of the Lake Michigan shore has a lot to offer for everyone, from city dwellers looking for a break from the noise to families hoping to shake off winter. Below, we’ll share a few things you can add to your West Michigan Spring bucket list.
Go Biking Along Lake Michigan
With over 100 miles of bike-friendly pathways around Grand Haven, the easily-accessible West Michigan tourist hub is a hidden gem for cyclists. The Lakeshore Connector Path is a 20-mile paved corridor connecting two beloved West Michigan beach towns, Holland and Grand Haven. The biggest draw to this bike path is you can go from Grand Haven State Park to Holland State Park in one route. Other noteworthy bike paths include the Grand River Explorers Trail, Lakeside Trail, and Tri-Cities Connector Path.
Explore the Beaches
You might think Michigan spring is too cold to hang out at the beach. Still, there’s something to be said for having fewer people taking up space on the shoreline. Empty beaches take on a new persona that any photographer, artist, or sightseeing enthusiast can appreciate. Check out our Best Beaches in West Michigan blog for a few ideas!
