Here are a few of my favorite things to do around Michigan in the fall time. These activities are more about finding the best spots to see Michigan's gorgeous fall foliage.
This is by far one of my favorite fall activities in Michigan. Take a shy lift to the top of the mountain and cross over the suspension bridge. Take in the gorgeous fall colors and the crisp cool air. I recommend going on a week day during peak folia...

Take this breathing drove from Harbour Springs up to Cross Village. The road is thin, but the views are incredible. Make sure to use the pull off spots to get out and snap some cool pictures on the road and its "tunnel" that the trees create. Grab so...
Tunnel of Trees
Take a short ferry ride over to the cutest small down island in Northern Michigan. Mackinac Island is home to many local shops, great eats, fun activities, and beautiful views. Pop in to one of the fudge shops, rent a bike to ride around the island (...

I am by no means a haunted house and bloody costume characters kinda girl, so here are a few activities I like to do around Halloween time that don't involve scary characters.
Greenfield Village does an incredible job transforming everything into a Halloween theme. The list of activities inside the village is endless. My favorites to check out are always the train that loops around the entire place, walking through the tro...
Hallowe'en in Greenfield Village
I have been going to Tillson Street since I was in high school. This is one of my favorite local Halloween activities to check out. Every year a street in Romeo Michigan goes all out on their Halloween decorations. People travel from all over to come...

I went to Glenlore Trails Haunted Forest for the first time this year (2024). The walk is about a mile long and is full of interactive activities and cool lights/decorations. This is definitely moved to the top of my Halloween activities going forwar...

Here are a couple food spots I always hit in the fall time each year
Blake's Tasting Room is a solid choice no matter what the season is, but there is something about the cider mill in the fall time that just screams come visit. I never miss out on stopping in here for some lunch after going out and picking a bag of m...
Blake's Tasting Room
I love going to JoJo's Shake Bar in Detroit during fall time. They decorate the outside of the restaurant with hay bales and pumpkins for the cutest photo ops. The fall menu with specialty hot chocolates, cocktails, and crazy yummy milkshakes makes i...
JoJo's Shake Bar - Detroit
Yates is my go to cidermill to get fresh apple cider. They are uniquely a water-powered cider mill that had been around since 1863. I love that as soon as you walk in the doors there is a wall full of the history and story of Yates. Walk through to t...
Yates Cider Mill
There is nothing better than visiting the original Cherry Republic, well maybe visiting in the fall is better. Walk through the beautiful trail of fall leaves as it leads you into the store based solely around Michigan cherries. This store will bring...

Small Town Vibes 🎃
Here are a few Michigan "small town" favorites to visit in the fall time.
Frankenmuth is a small Bavarian town in Michigan. In the fall time they decorate the streets with beautiful fall colored mums, hay bales, and pumpkins of course. The leaves paint the town with their beautiful autumn colors. There are so many local sh...
Frankenmuth
Petoskey is a beautiful little town located in northern Michigan. It is right on the edge of lake Michigan, giving gorgeous views overlooking the water. The town decorates for the fall time leaving each shop to personalize their own exteriors. Walkin...

Growing up spending my summers, and most falls, up in Charlevoix, I'd have to say it's probably my favorite Michigan "small town". The colors from the trees, the glow of the water, and that comfort feeling of being "home" just makes Charlevoix the be...
