Color Tours

Fall spans a multitude of seasons. Imagine warm Indian summer days with brilliantly colored leaves against an azure sky mirrored in the stillness of a quiet inland lake. The crisp air invigorates. It's time to relax and enjoy life. Plan a leisurely color tour; the drive along US-2 is rated one of the top ten color tours in the nation by USA Today.

November is a brisk bridge between fall color and the winter snows. An occasional snowfall and stark, bare-limbed trees set the perfect stage for hunting.

Fish, hike, hunt, browse our shops. Special fall accommodation rates are available throughout the St. Ignace area.
