Get Ready For Fall Color in the North!
Fall Color Update - October 24, 2012
Upper Peninsula - Overall almost all of the Upper Peninsula is "past peak". However, you can catch the last of the fall color and enjoy the year-round beauty of the Upper Peninsula by touring regions with incredible vistas like the Porcupine Mountains or tracking down the best of the waterfalls of the U.P. such as Tahquamenon Falls.
Northern Lower Michigan - Most of the peak color is now past in Northern Lower Michigan also. You'll find the best color of the season on routes near the shorelines of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Mackinac Island, and other islands, are always good place to catch the last of the color in the fall. Harvest season events and Halloween activities will be happening throughout Northern Lower Michigan. You can visit the Haunted Forest at Crystal Mountain or experience the Zipline of Terror at Boyne Mountain. Check out the events page for some of the best of the late season fall events.
