Spring Showers bring… 10 Ideas of Spring Fun in the Brighton Howell Area

Spring in Michigan can be a mixed bag. One minute you’re planning a picnic, and the next, you’re watching a downpour from your window. That was exactly our experience last weekend! What was supposed to be a sunny outdoor adventure turned into a quest for indoor spring fun in the Brighton Howell Area. But you know what? It was the best kind of unexpected detour. We found some absolute gems that made our rainy weekend unforgettable, and now I’m here to share them with you.

What to do in Walloon Lake in Winter

Imagine cozying up by a crackling fire, snowflakes gently falling outside, with a steaming mug in hand. Sounds idyllic, right? That’s the magic of a winter getaway to Walloon Lake Village and a stay at the luxurious Hotel Walloon. While this charming Northern Michigan destination is known for its vibrant summers, it transforms into a winter wonderland that offers a unique blend of tranquility and exciting activities. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a solo retreat, Walloon Lake in the winter provides a refreshing change of pace from the everyday hustle.

A First Timer’s Guide to Things to do in the Brighton Howell Area

As a born and raised Michigander, I’ve traveled across the mitten state countless times, but somehow, the charming towns of Brighton, Howell and Pinckney eluded me.

Join us as I share my first-timer’s impressions of these three gems, nestled in a region steeped in history and natural beauty. From exploring the bustling streets of Howell’s National Historic District to discovering the hidden treasures of Brighton’s Mill Pond, I’ll uncover the distinct character of each town and offer tips for fellow Michiganders seeking a fresh adventure.
