Things To Do
Argo Park Canoe & Kayak
You can go around the area by the livery with an hourly rental or you can do the hour and a half to two hour (3.7 miles) Argo to Gallup trip, and then they will drive you back to the start! There's also tube rental for just going down the "cascades" which is a fun series of slides landscaped into the river
Ann Arbor Farmers' Market
Dozens of great farmers and vendors sharing produce, bakery, coffee, and handmade goods. It's right by lots of cute little shops and the famous Zingerman's Deli, which is a tourism staple and local favorite of Ann Arbor. Its around the corner from the Hands-On Museum where the Friday night gathering is.
Northside Grill
Great breakfast diner near downtown Ann Arbor. Very close to the Argo Canoe Livery.
Dexter Blueberry Farm
We love to stock up on blueberries here every year, maybe go in the morning before its too hot!
Pickerel Lake
Spring fed lake for swimming, sort of feels like a best kept secret. There's a little beach and a small out house/ changing room. You'd need to drive there. Great place to cool off after blueberry picking!
White Lotus Farms
Saturday morning market includes breads, goats cheeses and pastries made special on the farm. It's pretty close to Frutig and the hotel blocks. They have a Koi pond and good vibes all around with their great flower gardens.
Kiwanis Thrift Sale
Saturday morning thrift store sale is legendary. We love to find reused things for the house and they have the nicest volunteers supporting the club. It's pretty close to the hotel blocks, but maybe a 15 min drive from downtown Ann Arbor.
Dom Bakeries
We love this place for doughnuts, its very close to our home in Ypsilanti!
Bird Dog Baking
A staple of our weekend is stopping by for the Saturday morning bialle egg sandwich and coffee! Fantastic breads and bakeries. A fun place to stop and then walk around downtown Ypsilanti! There's a farmers market in 'Depot Town' which is a nice short walk through the park away from Bird Dog.
Hyperion Coffee Co
Premium coffee roastery vibes, they do the great coffee! There's a location in Ann Arbor Downtown as well. This one is the original one in Ypsilanti.
Bomber Restaurant
Ypsilanti breakfast staple, with lots of WWII memorabilia nodding at Ypsilanti's role in producing the B24 Bombers (Rosie the Riveter was in Ypsilanti, working at the Willow Run Bomber Plant.)
