Traverse City Michigan freshwater fishing paradise and we have the places to stay at

visitupnorth — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:47:18 +0000

Between May and October, there is no consistently better place to be fishing in America than Traverse City, Mich. Diversity is the key: Lake Michigan with salmon and steelhead; Grand Traverse Bay with some of the best smallmouth pockets and carp flats in America; and more rivers and natural lakes filled with trout, bass, and panfish than you can begin to touch in one season. The calendar in Traverse City is honest-spectacular yellow birches in the falls, frosty white winters, damp misty springs, and radiant blue-green summers. The true outdoor aficionado finds solace (and opportunity) in every month here, be it fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, or hiking. It’s an affordable, yet polished, place to be. And the hometown culture is still a classic slice of Rockwell-esque Americana.

How to watch birds Northern Michigan,while you Visit Up North Suttons Bay, Omena, Northport, Elk Rapids

visitupnorth — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 20:03:07 +0000

Birders (also called bird watchers) form a substantial part of those who have a keen interest in Michigan’s wildlife. Birding is the number one sport in the United States. According to US Fish and Wildlife there are currently 51.3 million birders and that number continues to grow. So how do you become a “birder”? To begin birding, all you will need are three items:a field guide,binoculars and a notebook. Be patient and quiet-birds are very skittish. In Northern Michigan you can find birds inÂ parks www.theconservancy.com/kehl-lake.php ,nature centers or along country roads, in the trees and on the ground and everywhere in between.Morning is the best time to spot birds. Pack up your gear and make it aÂ day. For more information on bird watching check out www.audubon.org

One area that is terrific for bird watching is the Northport area. There are many great cottages and homes in all price ranges to meet your needs. Check out these links for some idea’s.http://www.visitupnorth.com/northport.shtml#baypointecottage5
