This is a great place to take a vacation. My husband and I stayed at a bed and breakfast. Then we spent all day at the Ludington State Park. We had planned to leave town and our host told us about this great park. We rented bikes and also walked to the lighthouse and then rode back out. It is absolutely beautiful. Michigan is absolutely beautiful, actually.
The scenery. Absolutely beautiful!
