Wilderness Orientation: Northwest Michigan Beach and Bike

This is designed for those who want to split their time between enjoying northern Lake Michigan beaches with half-days of scenic coastal road biking. Enjoy cycling, Northern Michigan's beautiful beaches, stand-up paddle boarding, and more!

This journey includes river and beachside camping in Platte River, Leelanau State Park, Traverse City State Park, Fisherman's Island State Park, Petoskey State Park, and Wilderness State Park.
