Check Out Michigan’s Hidden Gems For Fall Foliage This Year
Autumn in Michigan feels like a celebration, but did you know only one town made it to a recent fall foliage ranking? Let’s unpack that.
In my humble opinion, Michigan has the most beautiful fall colors on the planet. Apparently, the people at Stacker do not share my opinion. They recently dropped a new list of the 50 best small towns for fall foliage. Only one Michigan town made the list. How is this possible?
Before we talk about the town that made the list. Let's talk about the small Michigan towns that should be on the list.
Small Michigan Towns With Amazing Fall foliage
- Holland
- Mount Pleasant
- Decatur (any town in Van Buren County)
- Grayling
- Harbor Springs
- Frankenmuth
- Copper Harbor
- Gaylord
Ranking at number 19 out of 50 small towns with the best fall foliage is Munising, Michigan. This is what Stacker had to say about Munising.
North in the state of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Munising holds a spectacular palette of fall colors, thanks to its diverse crop of trees living in its hardwood forests. Sugar and red maples, red oak, birch, tamarack, and larch turn beet red and golden during late September and early October.
I get it. Munising is breathtaking. The multi-colored leaves, the waterfalls, the rocks...it's gorgeous. But how does Ohio have a town on this list? Michigan should have another 5 towns in the top 50. Am I wrong?
