Michigan has an abundance of lakes and streams that are not only beautiful, but are perfectly tailored to the wonderful pastime of kayaking. Whether you like swift-moving streams with some action, or idyllic ponds and lakes for smooth gliding, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for not far from where you live. One such place to experience this pastime is Ludington State Park. Within the park are several options to satisfy the explorer in each of us.
Hiking and Biking is a pinnacle activity in Ludington, with several trails existing within the Ludington State Park. And you don’t even have to venture far from the city! Check out the Ludington School Forest for a 5-mile bike trail and separate hiking trail; and be sure to utilize the paved path at Cartier Park for a bike ride, walk, or run through the woods!
Mason County, home to Ludington, Scottville, Hamlin Lake and many rural communities, is well known for beaches and its beautiful countryside. But there’s much more to offer locals and visitors, as Mason County is also becoming rich in culture, and there are hidden treasures throughout the county that the general public may not be aware of. To bring attention to the historical and cultural aspects of Mason County, a new “trail” system was formed. The Mason County Cultural Trail is comprised of six trails: Lumber Heritage Trail, Agricultural Trail, Barn Quilt Trail, and Sculpture Trail.
Take a dive into the area’s museums and experience the rich history and huge selection of exhibits for visitors of all ages. Take a step back in time to learn about Ludington’s history and culture through digital story telling, authentic images and artifacts, as well as engaging and interactive exhibits.
Sitting on more than 16,000 acres south of Ludington and east of the current Ludington Pumped Storage Plant is Lake Winds Energy Park. This park is home to 56 wind turbine generators. This project helps power Ludington and has been estimated to generate $33 million to Mason County.
A chill in the air and a burst of color can only mean one thing … It’s time for fall, and it’s time for a color tour! Take a look at the best routes for the most scenic views here.
