Great scenic route! You can find some spots to watch the lake along the road. We visited in summer and riding bike in the early morning was so refreshing.

Went for the color tour. We had more color in Harrison! I guess we where 2 weeks early,said our wonderful waitress.

Beautiful weather. Went the weekend of October 15-17. Although peak colors haven't quite arrived, it was a great trip. Very narrow road. Plenty of scenic parking spots to snap photos. Plenty of roadside shops to stop at.

I think we went to early this year because the colors haven't changed, but it was still a beautiful day. There are small cute towns to stop in to do a little shopping and get snacks. Makes for a nice relaxing drive.

Carly Friel | Apr 10, 2021

Yes, traveling north from Harbor Springs, restaurants and shops were open. Part way in Good Heart and Middle Village there were restaurants and shops open and at the end the infamous Leggs Inn and all shops in Cross Village were open. Wait time for a table at Leggs Inn around 4:30 pm was 2.5 hrs. So make sure you have a snack.

Darlene Moshier | Apr 9, 2021
Lana Tousignant | Apr 10, 2021

According to the Detroit Free Press, the peak this year for Michigan's northern lower peninsula is September 28th. This week would be the best time for the colors and the weather looks beautiful so far. :) I hope this helps. 💓

How are the trees looking so far?

John McDonald | Apr 9, 2021

Can you drive a truck hauling a 19 ft trailer through this?

Hedy Strathclyde | Apr 10, 2019
Tina Truax | Apr 11, 2019

The road is winding, and extensively so, not to mention narrow. It has a low speed limit. It would be difficult to maneuver a trailer through there. My suggestion, if you are camping at Petoskey, Wilderness or Burt Lake would be to take a day trip while you are camping and enjoy a lunch or dinner at Leggs in at Cross Village at the end of the tunnel.
