DETROIT — With temperatures heating up, Michigan residents are honing in on the state’s most popular vacation spots for the summer. Similar to previous summers, big cities and beach destinations appear to be most popular, says Theresa Winters, owner of Faraway Places Travel.
This summer's top Michigan destinations are Grand Rapids, Traverse City and other beach towns, Winters says.
“It’s typically the destinations that are centered around the Great Lakes, Traverse city being an alternative," she says. "Traverse City is a hot destination and places along the west coast such as the Fields Resort, which is glamping and one of a kind. ... Silver Lakes and what I like to talk to people about is that you can really make two trips out of one, going to Grand Rapids for all of the festivals and the Meijer Gardens, but then also hitting up Silver Lakes or Sleeping Bear Dunes.
