Many hear of this state and they think Detroit, cold, and snow.&nbsp; Nothing could be further from the truth.&nbsp; This state is a hidden gem that is begging to be ridden and explored by motorcyclists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Michigan has a shorter riding season than some of the southern states, when you experience the state in the right time of year, you soon realize that this area of the country is special and will become memorable and always hold a place in your heart from experiencing these rides.&nbsp; The roads are not as steep and intimidating as many other states which make them perfect for new riders, but the views, especially in the Upper Peninsula are some that will inspire you both as a rider and as a human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover

fulfilling lake drive that provides Michigan\u2019s great diversity between views of Lake Michigan and the densely packed forest vegetation.&nbsp; All you have to do is look to the left or right and you will have a new perspective on this ride as you gaze upon this wonderful state.&nbsp; The views aren\u2019t the only diversity you will experience. The roads go from longer straightaways to low elevation twisties that will leave you satisfied at the finish of this 50 mile road &#8211; glowing with a feeling that you rode 200+ miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tourism Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This route has plenty of color both blue from the lake and green from the vegetation and forest.&nbsp; There are some great state parks to visit along with the Tunnel of Trees at the end of this phenomenal road that winds through western Michigan. This is only a 50-mile route but food and gas isn\u2019t that plentiful so I have listed a few stops that will break up the ride<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_3f07cc-09:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_3f07cc-09 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_3f07cc-09 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_3f07cc-09 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_3f07cc-09 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_3f07cc-09 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_dbd95c-7f\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M22 11.08V12a10 10 0 1 1-5.93-9.14\"\/><polyline points=\"22 4 12 14.01 9 11.01\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mynorth.com\/2017\/05\/guide-to-michigans-iconic-tunnel-of-trees-on-m-119\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tunnel of Trees<\/a>\u2013 An part of this route that is a must see a baby version of Oregon\u2019s Avenue of the Giants.<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_243430-f9\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M22 11.08V12a10 10 0 1 1-5.93-9.14\"\/><polyline points=\"22 4 12 14.01 9 11.01\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Old-World-Cafe-662629910496637\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Old World Caf\u00e9<\/a>\u2013 Perfect halfway point to grab lunch or a coffee to fuel you for the remainder of the ride<\/span><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_800c01-e0\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M22 11.08V12a10 10 0 1 1-5.93-9.14\"\/><polyline points=\"22 4 12 14.01 9 11.01\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhartstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Good Hart General Store<\/a>\u2013 A great location to stop and get a sandwich or rehydrate with some fluids-<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Stay<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Camping is plentiful along this route with a few state parks well worth visiting even if you aren\u2019t going to be camping.&nbsp;

especially this Upper Peninsula ride is one that will define your Michigan journey with its start and finish in Marquette it is an easy but fun ride that will keep your adrenaline on point with its sweepers it really doesn\u2019t let down in anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tourism Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Michigan has plenty of lighthouses, and this route provides you with the opportunity to visit another one along with the Maritime Museum.&nbsp; From my experience these lighthouses seem to be placed in areas that are perfect for taking a break off the bike and getting some physical exercise in, a stretch, and a chance to gaze out across the beautiful lakes in Michigan, or just get a coffee and chat with other riders.&nbsp; This area also has a vast choice or restaurants and bars to visit either before or after riding this epic Michigan loop.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_c04626-8b:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_c04626-8b

The road is in great shape but most of it has very soft shoulders so as stated above remain alert for wildlife. The dense forests are something to behold, especially as you are right next to the largest freshwater lake on the planet but for much of this loop you will be unable to see it, with the exception of the lighthouse and a few viewpoints. The forest is the beauty that will surround you as you embrace this area of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tourism Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This part of Michigan is more desolate than the other areas.

you are riding to the end of the Earth.&nbsp; In a sense you are &#8211; as this is the northernmost route in this state.&nbsp; Starting at Houghton you will remain inland for about 25 miles and then the world opens up in front of you. Almost instantly you are overlooking Lake Superior from 500ft above.&nbsp; The views are not just spectacular, but well-earned as you navigate the cliffside roads. This area is so out of the way you will experience little traffic as you ride this well maintained road and descend into Copper Bay where you can catch your breath, get a bite to eat and prepare for the reverse journey back to Houghton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tourism Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lighthouses galore along this northern Michigan route and each one is worth stopping for a visit.&nbsp; This route similar to the others, is remote but the places listed below are worth a visit and placed in perfect places where you will want to take a break from riding and soak in the majestic scenery of Lake

ride as a connector to other northern Michigan routes. There is light traffic and the road is in excellent shape. There really isn\u2019t a better south to north path to rocket you up towards Like Superior other than fully embracing this route. The road is mostly straight, but far from boring as it provides the scenery of the thick forest while riding north. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of this ride is the isolation you will receive from the rest of the world, which will allow you to really embrace Michigan. There are plenty of bailout options along this as well if for some reason you are in hurry Highway 131 runs parallel to this and will absolutely get you north faster but you\u2019re in Michigan, what\u2019s the rush?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tourism Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this route is more designed as a connector to the northern part of the state there isn\u2019t too much to see for most people but s riders who look a little bit deeper when touring there is always something everywhere, you just have to look in the right places.&nbsp; This route provides those \u201cright places\u201d with a few interesting attractions that will add some depth to the ride north.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_c73ecb-b1:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_c73ecb-b1

sweeping corners through the forests of Michigan that will leave you breathless as you traverse these woodland roads.&nbsp; Other than wildlife to be alert for you will feel as though you own this road and with the great condition it is in it won\u2019t be long before you are falling in love with this state.&nbsp; If you feel the need to see Lake Michigan views they are only a couple miles away VIA any of the numerous offshoots that will let you feel as though you have entered a different ecosystem as the trees give way to the openness of one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tourism Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This route is peppered with fun tourist attractions and things to do outside the normal ride.&nbsp; From taking tours of the dunes in Jeeps with friends, to fishing or maybe just a getaway to relax in the neighboring nation forest.&nbsp; There are also many lighthouses that guard the shores of this incredible part of the lakeside.&nbsp; There is such a diverse amount of activities to be enjoyed as you ride and enjoy this route it is well worth spending a couple days to absorb it all.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_a4ef20-82:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_a4ef20-82

Once you open your eyes to exploring the thousands of miles of pristine empty lakeshore and forest roads you will often be left with the feeling you are the last remaining soul on the planet. These routes are some of my favorite in the state and once you ride them I am sure you will agree and possibly even find some hidden gems that I have missed in my ride review for the beautiful state of Michigan.
