What To Expect
Great Lakes Bay
Michigan sits in the heart of the Great Lakes, one of America's most interesting and in my opinion underappreciated natural wonders. By area, the Great Lakes are the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth and contain 21% of the world’s surface freshwater. The lakes are all connected, and if you follow the smaller lakes and rivers that drain them, eventually you'll reach the Atlantic Ocean. NOTE: The tour is over 121 miles long, with more than 78+ audio stories, and takes about 2-4 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
Lake
Michiganders love to use their hands as maps to show where they’re from. Hold up your left hand, and make a mitten-type shape with your palm facing away from you. Congratulations, you just created a map of the lower peninsula. This tour takes us along the outside of your hand, on the pinky-finger side.

4.00We enjoyed the trip. It would be better if it came up on GPS. There were also activities that were closed for the season or do to the government shutdown. It would have been nice to know ahead of time.
Absolutely perfect!
