Your ride around the lake will include panoramic bluff views across the expansive clear waters of the lake, endless numbers of clean pristine sandy beaches with gentle lapping waves to swim in, quaint small villages that have been catering to the needs of travelers for over a hundred years, and the best part of all, it is a loop tour. No shuttles required! And if you don't have time for the 1,200 plus mile tour around the entire lake, you have the option to hop one of two ferries across the lake to cut your tour in half, or ever thirds. It is a tour that has it all, and this guidebook routes you on separated bike paths and bike friendly roads that lead you from one adventure to the next. So grab your bike and begin your own Lake Michigan Trail Adventure!
