A field guide to the Lake Michigan Coast: time-honored holiday destinations, cozy towns and glittering cities on the shoreline.
Inside Wildsam Lake Michigan Coast, you’ll find the best of a beloved realm of water, woods, tradition and creativity. Our guide leads all the way around the big lake, with stops in rare natural landscapes and the towns and cities that make the Upper Midwest a byword in hospitality. This is a world of woodsy cabins passed between generations; a world of fish frys, fish boils, tavern games and sporting lore. With help from experts and contributors from all sides of the water, we discover the path to quiet lakeside days and boisterous nights out on the town. With delightful history and culture around every corner, this book helps any traveler explore Lake Michigan and its communities.

“Lake Michigan has many moods. No two trips are the same. Its range of color is amazing. Concrete grays. Caribbean aquamarines. Nighttime sailing is one of my favorites—when you get all of the stars in July. Northern lights, occasionally.”
—Mike Martin, ferryboat captain
