Ready to go on an exciting family friendly adventure this summer? Looking for a summer vacation destination that won’t break the bank? How about visit some hidden gems in an underrated area within Michigan? Let’s ditch the crowds and wait times found ‘up north’ and head somewhere just as pretty but less busy. Here’s how to spend a weekend in the Great Lakes Bay.
Each year, I want to shine a spotlight on some of my favorite hidden gems in Michigan we explored the previous year. While many are new sights to us, some are such great treasures that we returned back to them this year. I guarantee you won’t find any other Michigan bucket list like mine! Here are my recommended Michigan hidden gems to explore in 2023.
The Great Lakes Bay region of Michigan is located on Michigan’s east coast right around where the ‘thumb’ starts to jut out. Within this area, there are six unique towns to explore – Bay City, Birch Run, Chesaning, Frankenmuth, Midland, and Saginaw. During a weekend fall getaway, my family explored three of these towns – Bay City, Midland, and Saginaw, which are all close to each other. We were blown away by the stunning architecture, natural beauty, and number of hidden gems. Learn more in this family friendly guide to Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay.
