Traverse City, Michigan got its name from the Grand Traverse Bay that lies to the North. The “Cherry Capital of the World” feeds the United States most of its cherries and also serves those looking to indulge their penchants for golf, wine or boating.
Drop by in July for the week-long Cherry Festival, or get close to the cherry juice/jelly/ sauce-making action at Amon Orchards. Splash around on the beach and sample grapes from one of the largest winemaking areas in the Midwest. Find yourself at the Old Mission Point Lighthouse to the North or rent a boat to test out your water skills.
