Visit SkyBridge Michigan
Head to Boyne Falls to see beautiful, panoramic valley views of the newly opened SkyBridge Michigan. Guests ride the Hemlock Scenic Chairlift to the mountain’s top, then venture out along the exhilarating 1,200-foot long and 118-foot high pedestrian bridge. Tickets include all-day access, so go up, down, and across as many times as you choose!
Jump in a Huge Pile of Leaves
There is still plenty of time to do a favorite childhood activity: jump in a pile of leaves. Grab a rake (or even use your hands!) and make fun memories with your little piling and jumping in leaves time and time again.
