MICHIGAN STATE
Best Time to Go & Visit & Travel to
Michigan
Michigan isn't just cars and Detroit. Michigan has
an
intense web of travel attractions in the shorelines of its
bordering lakes (mainly in Lake Michigan) and its charming villages and mid-size towns:
Holland, Grand Rapids,
Muskegon, Traverse City,
St. Joseph, Ludington or Mackinaw
or Ann Arbor
Water sports, golf courses, skiing (namely in is rather non-touristic
Upper Peninsula), biking, fishing, top world
class museums, an exceptional high number of town festivals,
intense nightlife, gigantic malls... That's Michigan.

BEST TIME TO
VISIT MICHIGAN
Michigan's winters are severe, with occasional snowstorms and
intense rainfalls. The influence of the surrounding lakes is positive, and turns
the climate less harsh, but doesn't prevent intense snowfalls
(December through February)and
cold.
Snow and winter is, of course, good news for those who enjoy
skiing and winter sports. But if you are interested in other
Michigan's attractions, you may want to avoid the severe winter
period.
If you privilege warm and agreeable weather, early
Autumn is the
best time to visit Michigan.
Autumns brings with it the foliage spectacle, and very nice days. In contrast, early and mid Spring are often
cloudy, chilly, and rainy.
Early and mid Spring, or late Fall (or even Winter) are ideal
times to
enjoy indoor activities (the all year
round water and theme parks in Michigan Lake coastline, or museums and other
indoor activities in cities as Detroit) and benefit from lower
accommodation rates and fewer crowds.
As for Summer, well, this is simply the most popular period.
Most of the festivals and animation in the small villages, or in
towns as Holland, Ludington, or Ann Arbor happen in summer; and
beaches, and the water parks and the coast line of
Lake Huron, Lake Superior and
Lake Michigan are, of course, particularly crowded and animated
in this period.
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO MICHIGAN
Do not go to Michigan in the Winter
and the early Spring, if you don't intend to enjoy winter
sports and dislike intense chilly weather, snow
and heavy precipitation.
Avoid July and August if you mainly want to enjoy Michigan's indoor
activities and want cheap accommodation and fewer crowds.
