Things to do in Traverse City
Traverse City is the hub of northern Michigan, set at the base of Grand Traverse Bay and surrounded by cherry orchards, vineyards and some of the clearest water in the Great Lakes. It calls itself the Cherry Capital of the World, and the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas have become one of the Midwest’s most respected wine regions.
