Cherry Capital of the World

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.
Get out of town with these interesting Traverse City side-trips: Empire (Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore & Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive), Saint Ignace (Museum of Ojibwa Culture & Mackinac Bridge) and Ludington State Park (in Ludington). There's lots more to do: indulge your taste buds at Food & Drink, look for gifts at American Spoon, enjoy the sea views from Old Mission Lighthouse, and learn about winemaking at Chateau Chantal Winery & Tasting Room.

To see traveler tips, photos, other places to visit, and other tourist information, refer to the Traverse City trip itinerary planning tool .

July in Traverse City sees daily highs of 80°F and lows of 59°F at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 31st (Wed) to allow enough time to travel back home.
