Houghton has fancy new pier big enough for cruise ships

A small Upper Peninsula town has a new $5 million pier that’s equipped to dock cruise ships, which are becoming increasingly popular on the Great Lakes.

The 2023 cruise ship season is expected to be record-breaking with 11 ships making hundreds of stops at Michigan ports, including a couple at Houghton.

Mini-cruises?

There’s a special deal for car-free travelers crossing Lake Michigan on the historic S.S. Badger. It’s called “Round Trip Mini-Cruises.” This deal is for people traveling round trip between Ludington and Manitowoc, Wis., without a vehicle within 48 hours.

It's back!

The Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge Walk will return this summer after a three-year hiatus! The bridge spanning three miles over the St. Marys River connects Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to Ontario, Canada. Pedestrians generally aren’t allowed on the bridge. V cool. 

Aww yeah that Michigan merch

Michigan's love language is a hoodie you got on vacation in Michigan. Now the DNR has partnered with Traverse City-based Great Lakes Proud to create a collection of new official merchandise for Michigan’s state parks, trails and waterways. One Tahquamenon Falls T-shirt features what appears to be an overflowing root beer float ... so, yes please.
