Michigan fall color can only be described as breathtaking. Imagine millions of trees painted in their best color of golds, oranges and reds. The fall trees stand proud as if to say "look at me".

You'll enjoy a very special time of year along Lake Michigan. The crisp air and fall leaves add a romantic charm to day trips and getaways. The roadside stands are full of the seasons harvest.

Fruits and vegetables, offered by proud farmers who have generations of family history to share with you. The vineyards are being harvested which makes it a great time to visit a Lake Michigan winery.

Yes, it's fall in Michigan ... my families favorite time of year.

There are many scenic drives along the coast that allow you to enjoy all this beauty. We have mapped out the top fall drives for the best color from the northern, to the southern areas.

Don't be afraid to venture off yourself. You may find a special stretch that keeps you coming back for years.




Timing is key as weather plays the main role in when, and how fast the fall color changes in Michigan.

When cooler weather is here grab your Romantic Lake Michigan sweatshirt and head out.

The lake water is cooler and seems to take on a darker color. The beach crowds are gone, allowing the two of you to enjoy them with only the sounds of the gulls singing in the wind.

Many of the places to stay will offer their off-season rates. Take advantage of Travel Deals during this time of year.

I promise, if you visit Michigan during the fall, it will keep you coming back time and time again.
