We’re one step closer to distilling down the ultimate Michigan summer bucket list. But we need your vote!
Bridge Michigan asked readers to help us discover some of the state’s best-kept secrets beyond everyone’s favorites like Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island and Pictured Rocks. And boy, did you deliver!
Readers pointed us to well over 100 gems all over our beautiful state. And we got some real deep cuts — we had to Google several submissions because we hadn’t heard of them. Check out the short list here and see how many you recognize.
