Day Trip to South Haven

When I originally wrote this article back in mid 2020, it was after my family’s first Day Trip to South Haven. Since then, my family and I have returned to South Haven several other times and each time, we participated in different activities in the area! My husband and I even were blessed to go on a romantic getaway to South Haven as well.

So now, this “Day Trip to South Haven” article has taken on a new life and offers *four* South Haven day trip ideas! One that is perfect if it is your first time visiting South Haven (great for all ages – even babies), another to experience South Haven’s hidden gems, a romantic day date for couples, and finally, a day trip idea if you visit South Haven during winter.

A Hidden Gem Tour of Traverse City

We’re taking you through a hidden gem tour of Traverse City!

Traverse City and its surrounding communities are some of the most popular destinations for people (including myself) to visit in Michigan, particularly in summer.

But for a long while now, the vision of going on an unconventional weekend getaway started brewing. I craved diving a little deeper into this picturesque region’s history. At the same time, we didn’t want to sacrifice fun, family friendly activities.

Check out our travel plan for some unique sights and attractions to include in your next visit!

The Best Things to Do All Year in Charlevoix

Charlevoix in northwest Michigan’s lower peninsula, is a beautiful place to visit any time of year. In the summer, it is a popular destination to enjoy its state parks, inland lakes, Lake Michigan beaches, boutiques, and charming attractions. However, Charlevoix and many of its top attractions are open year round. In fact, the best time to visit may just be after the peak summer crowds disperse. My family and I spent a weekend getaway where we explored the best things to do in any season in Charlevoix.

There’s a little something for everyone in Charlevoix. If you love architecture and history, stay in or tour the Earl Young mushroom houses and explore Castle Farms. For nature and scenery lovers, visit Mt McSauba and Fisherman’s Island State Park. Finally, for the art and foodie appreciators, almost all of Charlevoix’s restaurants remain open throughout the year! Now let’s dive into the best things to do in any season in Charlevoix. I’ve also provided a wonderful weekend getaway itinerary to make your trip easy.
