10 Ways to Kick Off Spring with a Lake Michigan Vacation

Although many in the Upper Midwest have extensive experience embracing winter, by March, there’s usually a shared eagerness for longer days and sunshine. So, now that the homestretch to spring is here, most people are thinking about blossoming flowers, t-shirt weather, and outdoor activities. To get you as excited for the changing season as we are at Bluefish Vacation Rentals, we put together ten ways to shake off winter while visiting Lake Michigan this spring.

10 Spring Things to Do on a Lake Michigan Vacation

• Find a “wee piece of Scotland” by visiting Welter’s Folly at Journeyman Distillery for a round of mini golf on their 30,000-square-foot putting course.

• Stop by Froehlich’s in Three Oaks for a sidewalk lunch and some downtown people-watching.

• Go antique shopping. Spending time out and about will provide plenty of fresh air and sunlight between your retail therapy sessions.

• Enjoy a few beverages while hiking on the Mt. Tabor Trails connecting Tabor Hill Winery & Restaurant and Round Barn Estate.

• Go beachcombing and rock hunting over 1,000 feet of Lake Michigan shore at Rocky Gap County Park in Benton Harbor, one of the state’s best rockhound locations.

• Drive out to Niles to admire the flora at Fernwood Botanical Garden. Besides their beautiful landscaping and gardens, they typically have various events and exhibitions.

• Find tranquility at one of the many public parks and outdoor recreation areas.

• Let your dog run wild at the Sari Asher Memorial Dog Park in New Buffalo.

• Plan an outing for your group’s bird or animal-loving members at Sarett Nature Center in Benton Harbor.
