Things To Do
Silver Harbor Brewing Company
Southwest Michigan is known for good breweries, and Silver Harbor is the best of 'em. It's also got a great atmosphere and delicious food.
Silver Beach
It may be too chilly to enjoy a beach day, but it's still worth taking in the views.
Downtown St. Joe
The local shops sell unique gifts, clothing, jewelry, home decor, art, and speciality foods.
Apple Picking
A favorite fall activity in Michigan.
Pumpkin Patch
Another fall favorite activity in Michigan! Pumpkins, fresh veggies, pies, cider, and best of all—donuts!
Brewery and Winery Tours
There are lots of great breweries and wineries in Southwest Michigan. If you have extra time in the area, check some out!
Kal-Haven Trail
The Kal-Haven trail is a beautiful 33-mile long trail resting on an abandoned railroad bed constructed in 1871. It connects South Haven, on the shore of Lake Michigan about a half an hour from Benton Harbor, to Kalamazoo. It's great for walking, biking, and even horseback riding on certain stretches.
Scenic Drive
Michigan is known for having some of the most scenic roads to travel in the fall when the leaves have changed colors. A great route for a beautiful drive starts by taking I-196 north. I just learned this is part of a byway called the West Michigan Pike, which has its own theme song and video (!!!). Check it out using the "View" link below. If you head in this direction, consider checking out some of the cute beach towns along the way—South Haven, Holland, and Saugatuck are a few of my favorites.
