Your Guide to a Four-Season Playground

If you're looking for a four-season playground boasting 26 miles of beaches and Olympic experiences, look no further than the Lake Michigan shoreline! Muskegon County, Michigan, is a prime destination for vacations, meetings and events—and Muskegon County Convention & Visitors Bureau will make it worth your while with its 2017 Visitors Guide and Coupon Book.

Muskegon County's beaches, festivals, attractions and events make the area a prime travel destination. The USS Silversides Submarine Museum offers a tour of a World War II submarine, the Muskegon Museum of Art offers a wide range of traditional and contemporary pieces, and Michigan's Adventure Amusement & Water Park—the state's largest amusement and water park—is located in Whitehall. ("Two parks for the price of one!")

For the winter months, the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex offers a host of activities to enjoy winter, including a luge track designed by three-time Olympian, Frank Masley.

Spend a day cruising, boating or fishing on Lake Michigan, or enjoy sunbathing and splashing along the shoreline. Michigan is actually a rad Midwest surfing destination. Try wakeboarding or boogie boarding, at the very least.

A little more inland, parks offer great trails, both rustic and paved, for hiking and biking through rolling hills, marshes, lakes and forests.

Stay in one of the area's hotels or cottages, or find a camping ground to enjoy the great outdoors.

The Visitors Guide and Coupon Book provide all the information you need to know, along with great deals on many of the county's attractions, restaurants, golf courses and retailers. Complimentary copies of both publications are available from the Muskegon County CVB. Order online at www.visitmuskegon.org, by calling 800.250.9283 or by e-mailing [email protected].
