Does your Michigan vacation need to be all outdoors?
It can be a little of both, say industry reps. Even metropolitan areas such as Detroit and Grand Rapids offer an alternative to going “Up North” or visiting the Lake Michigan shoreline.
As part of our search for Michigan’s Best Vacation Spot, MLive readers selected Grand Rapids with 34.91 percent of the vote in the “other favorite destinations” poll. Detroit was second with 15.38 percent of the vote.
