Scooter riding

by ant1606

Scooters are very convenient for moving around everywhere and Michigan is no exception. The purring sound can't compare to the "real" exhaust tones I'm used to but it's fun. This one that I've been using was not highway rated - although topping 60+ mph - and this condition had the positive result to let me explore more of places that I'd otherwise hardly go through. Good thing I fabricated and installed a support bracket for the GPS to find my way around. Southeast Michigan roads are notoriously badly paved but this two-wheeler handled them decently as well as unpaved roads. Riding on smooth pavements is kind of a dream in this part of the world!

Pine River - Need a canoe/kayak!

by Fullmoonfever

If you decide to canoe or kayak the Pine River I recommend renting from Horina. It's located on SR 37, about 1 miles south of the intersection of SR37 and SR 55 and about a 1/4 mile south of the Peterson bridge campground.The cost for of renting a canoe is $40. There is usually 2 people per canoe. This cost includes transportation (provided by the outfitters) needed to be taken to and from the river at the end of your trip.This outfitter uses Old Town canoes. These are not aluminum, don't leak and have far more comfortable seats.Tell Jim, Glen sent you!

When a bicycle can fly

by ant1606

When I decided to buy a bicycle in Detroit I was unsure about taking it with me to Europe, but I eventually did. Lufthansa considers a bike as a piece of luggage and you just have to check it in as it is with no additional costs, at least on their intercontinental flights. No need for the bike to be put into a special carton or bag, not even the need to take apart the pedals or other parts.I just wrapped it up to prevent scratches and loaded onto my rental car along with another piece of luggage and a small carry-on backpack. I was traveling alone, I had then to drive straight to the rental car return and took advantage of the shuttle bus to the Mac Namara terminal in Detroit Metro airport. If that was fun and easy, it proved otherwise tricky to catch a couple of elevators up and down to reach the check-in area. Good thing I could cram the bike in the elevators, vertically, with the...

On the island

by tarced

On Mackinac Island, you cannot use a car. The hotels have horses and carriages, there are horse and carriage "taxis" and tours, and the most popular form of transport is a bicycle (which you can rent on the island). The horse and carriage you take to and from your hotel will not contain your luggage. Your luggage will arrive separately which can be convenient or not depending upon your perspective.

Cars

by tarced

Well it's Michigan, home of the (former) Big Three so convenient travel such as trains and subways is fairly non-existent. You will need a car to get to where you need to go. Interestingly enough though one of our major tourist destinations is Mackinac Island where no cars are allowed! Do not travel in the Detroit area from 6:30- 8:30 a.m. and 3:30-6:30 p.m. if you can possibly help it. Traffic is a nightmare and we have no carpool lanes (which really annoys me as I carpool to work). Other than these times, the roads are ok (but careful in the spring for potholes). As you travel north, you will see some beautiful scenery from the highways yet the farther north you go, the less highways you will have for travel. This is ok by me though!

Motorcycle riding

by ant1606

I don't have a motorcycle of my own in Michigan but a comprehensive colleague had the great idea of letting me borrow his cruiser for some time. Riding around Detroit requires extra attention for the quality of paved roads is not the best. Potholes and bulky joints jeopardize a more vulnerable vehicle such as a motorcycle, even if these are hit at lower speeds than the 70 mph interstate and freeway limit. Right after violent downpours I went through flooded sections under a couple of bridges and, although I made it, that was not the best of my personal experiences.I was ready to leave for a 6,000 trip around the country and it would have been something memorable but it was eventually canceled.

Michigan D O T

by davecallahan

MDOT has a great website of useful information for tourists driving to places in Michigan.There are tons of maps and brochures about Michigan cities and roads.They have route planners and distance calculators. There are maps of construction areas and rest areas. They have a page of safety tips for all drivers in Michigan. There are instructions and information on toll roads, bridges and ferries. They have answers to questions about the "courtesy unit" that patrols Michigan Interstates looking for stranded motorists to aid.The website (see below) is fairly easy to navigate but can be several layers thick before you get to the exact information you want.

UP See the Mackinac Bridge

by dlandt

I thought the Mackinac Bridge was a sight unto itself. The bridge is or was the biggest one in the world in its day and it still retains a sense engineering bravado that isn't all that common. The toll is $2 each way, collected on the north end and the views alone make it worth the sum. On either side, in either direction, even in less than fully clear weather, you have an excellent view of the straits and coastlines. For views of the bridge itself, you can drop into Mackinac City (or St. Ignace presumably) and stroll along the lakeside park. If you have kinder, there is an amusement park nearby.

The Mackinac Ferry

by dlandt

For a dollar per minute you can take the ferry to Mackinac Island. Ferries leave from both St. Ignace and the City of Mackinac. On holidays lines can be long, but the ferry ride is very short as the boats are fast. Still and all, I think $20 is a bit steep for a simple ferry ride even if it does cover both ways. Sadly, it is the only way to get to the island unless you own your own boat.
