DISCOVER HERITAGE ROUTE 23

Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!

Coastal Northeast Michigan is your winter playground with plenty to do for the winter enthusiast! Ice fishing, ski trails, snowshoe trails, sleigh rides, snowkiting, birding, ice sailing, and cozy winter cabins deep in the woods - it's all waiting for you! Take a look at the map and list below to explore our wintertime sites.

Food, Drink and Great Entertainment!

At the end of the day, come in and warm up for some local fare and a night at the theater! Theaters (INDOOR wintertime places to visit) are listed in our winter sites below, but click here to locate some fine food and drink!

Wintertime Bird Watching!

If you've got birding on your mind, check out our Sunrise Coast Birding Trail - download the map to see which birding sites are open in the winter! 

Northeast Michigan is ARTown!

If "Jack Frost nipping at your nose" out there on those trails isn't your speed, follow the ARTrail along the Heritage Route! Galleries, studios and museums can be found all along the coast - they are warm and cozy and ready to welcome you in!

There's more to see on 23!
