Here are my Michigan day trip itinerary’s. Each itinerary is crafted to inspire and help you plan your adventure. Each day trip itinerary contains a map, summary, budget, travel time, and details. Further, I list alternative things to do. Day trip topics include Michigan’s various cities, towns, counties, and beach towns and at times, may include a particular theme.
Rockford is a beautiful community located about 20 minutes north of Grand Rapids. Known for its natural beauty and picturesque downtown, there are plenty of things to do in Rockford. If you’re searching for a place to visit with lots of outdoor activities, Rockford is a great destination.
We spontaneously took this day trip a few October’s ago shortly after we moved to Michigan from Kenya. It was the first time I saw the leaves changing colors in 5 years and my husband’s first time ever!
This year, I’m planning to take my son on his own mini fall color tour – from the comfort of his stroller. For that, I’m going to head back to one (or all) of the parks I’ve written about here. He’s been really into trees ever since he first started to notice things around him. I imagine he’ll get a kick out of vibrant red, orange, and yellow hued leaves!
Douglas, Michigan is overlooked by local Michigan travelers for the bigger, well-known town of Saugatuck, just across the lake. While Saugatuck is rightfully amazing, there is a lot Douglas offers. That is why my family and I planned the ultimate day trip to Douglas, Michigan! Prior to visiting, I did my research to ensure we hit up all we could within one day.
While Saugatuck and Douglas share the moniker Art Coast of Michigan, Douglas is known as the Village of Friendliness. Now after hearing that, how can you not visit?
