Some people think that Northern Michigan has nothing to offer in the winter. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Winter provides the region with many opportunities for winter activities and beauty that you can't find during other seasons of the year. There are numerous nearby ski hills, ice rinks, parks, lodges, cabins and other points of interest. Several lakes can be found nearby, including Lake Michigan, where you will find people snowmobiling and ice fishing. Often Northern Michigan provides a snow globe and movie-like atmosphere. Beauty can be seen while skiing, snowshoeing, walking out to the beaches and parks or just going for a drive. Nearby authorities are pretty proficient at clearing the roads and sidewalks because the area is used to heavy snow. With less green, sunset colors are magnified over Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay. Seeing such a large body of water freeze over is breathtaking in its own way. Surprisingly, Hollywood hasn't found the benefits of filming in such a picturesque place. Then again, perhaps it's good that not too many people know. It allows us to enjoy it all the more!
