As one of the states in the Great Lakes region of the Midwest, Michigan is truly rich in natural beauty. Besides the lakes, the state features multitudes of trails that outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy. The Haywire Grade Trail connecting Lakes Michigan and Superior is a renowned ATV and snowmobiling spot.

Nothing beats a relaxing place to come back to after a long day of adventures. For great stays, come and check out the top beachfront Airbnbs in Michigan, USA.
