The lake is always on the way.
Trip guides and keepsakes from a small shop that loves Michigan's lakes, dunes and lighthouses.
See what we make ↓Why Mitten Trails
We love exploring Michigan: the cliffs above Lake Superior, the dunes on the Lake Michigan shore, the lighthouses, the long drives in between. Mitten Trails is how we share the places we keep going back to.
We're a small, independent shop. Our guides are built from park and agency sources, and every fee, hour and closure carries the date we checked it. Our keepsakes carry the places themselves: a lighthouse, a falls, a map of the mitten. Go see them, and bring a little of Michigan home.
