Head toward Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. You can take a car ferry from Lundington, Michigan to Manitowoc just south of Two Rivers.

The people are warm and friendly. If your looking for big city appeal you're in the wrong place!

If you get the chance, charter a fishing boat on Lake Michigan and catch yourself some lake trout!

The Mariner's Trail
1 more image

The Mariner's Trail is a paved and landscaped pedestrian walkway which follows the shoreline of Lake Michigan through Twin Rivers. The six-mile trail connects Two Rivers to Manitowoc, Wisconsin on the South and Point Beach State Forest on the north. It provides a very scenic pathway for those who want to get a bit of exercise. There are public restrooms along the way.

The trail is billed as "the finest shore-hugging, surf-sounding paved six miles of trail anywhere on Lake Michigan's shore." lt is open 24/7 for walkers, runners, wheelchairs, dogs on leashes 15 feet or shorter, bicycles, in line skates and skateboards. Karen and I took advantage of the trail by taking a short walk from Manitowoc to Two Rivers.
