Best known for its automotive industry and the strikingly blue Great Lakes, Michigan earns bragging rights in all sorts of other tourist-friendly ways.  With a prime location on Lake Huron, the Great Lakes Bay Region offers abundant outdoors activities and rich cultural heritage. Bay City is known for its historic charm and nautical atmosphere. Home to the famed Tall Ships Celebration which arrives every few years, the pulse of this community is centered around the Saginaw Bay. The Appledore Tall Ship and the Bay City Boat Lines allow you to experience the Bay for yourself, and the downtown area is filled with endless shopping and dining opportunities. Book a ride aboard the Sunrise Pedal Trolley and enjoy a pint or two as you pedal the streets of Bay City with stops at Tri-City Brewing Company, Lumber Barons Brewery or Tavern 101.
