5 days in Traverse City Itinerary

Traverse City might be well known for its huge cherry industry, but its position along Grand Traverse Bay in Lake Michigan endows it with fine scenery and a wealth of outdoor attractions.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Fishing Charters & Tours. Family-friendly places like Silver Lake State Park Pedestrian Dune Access and Deerfield Nature Park will thrill your kids. Venture out of the city with trips to City Park - Cadillac Commons (in Cadillac), Big Rapids (Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University, Newaygo State Park, &more) and Shrine of the Pines (in Baldwin). There's still lots to do: tee off at Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf and learn about winemaking at Jomagrha Vineyards & Winery.
