5 Awesome Spring Things to Do in Northern Michigan

Spring Onto a Golf Course

Did you know that there are nearly 800 golf courses throughout the Mitten State? You can find great golf just about anywhere you look, but Northern Michigan offers some truly unique golf courses in the state.

Take a Cruise

One of the most fun ways to explore the Au Sable is to take a ride on the Au Sable River Queen. This is the only paddlewheel riverboat of its kind and offers interested folks a variety of tours on a two-hour round trip. It opens in late spring (Memorial Day through mid-October) and provides live music on weekends.

Go Skiing Before Spring Melts All the Snow

A spring skiing adventure often results in fewer crowds and warmer temperatures. In Petoskey Michigan, you can visit Nubs Nob, Boyne Mountain Resort, and Boyne Highlands to ski until your heart’s content. You can enjoy other Michigan ski resorts as well.

Grab a Beer

You can find some great IPAs and truly unique flavors that will satisfy every taste bud. You can pair a delicious local beer with a burger, a sandwich, or a pizza. Is there any better way to spend a spring day than with food and beer?

Watch the Stars

In Mackinaw City, you’ll find Headlands International Dark Sky Park. Here, there’s little or no light pollution, making it the perfect place to go stargazing. The park is open 24 hours a day and offers lots of events and programs to teach visitors about stargazing.
