Lakes and Grapes

Hiking & Trails · Traverse City, MI

Lakes and Grapes combines two of northern Michigan's greatest treasures into unforgettable hiking adventures around Traverse City. These guided trail experiences wind through vineyards overlooking Grand Traverse Bay, then lead to secluded lakeshores where crystal-clear waters lap against sandy beaches. Each trek tells the story of the land—how glacial forces carved these hills and valleys, creating perfect conditions for both pristine lakes and world-class wine grapes. The routes change seasonally, taking you through blooming cherry orchards in spring, sun-dappled forest paths in summer, and blazing maples in fall.
