Just north of Saugatuck, buried under shifting sand dunes near the mouth of the Kalamazoo River, sit the remains of a town that once dreamed of rivaling Chicago and Milwaukee.

There's something special about fall along Michigan's lakeshore. The mornings are a little cooler, the trees begin to turn, and the slower pace makes it easier to enjoy everything that makes Saugatuck and Douglas so special.

While summer tends to steal the spotlight, fall is one of our favorite times of year. From quiet walks along Lake Michigan to apple orchards, roadside farmstands and afternoons spent wandering downtown, there's no shortage of ways to embrace the season.

When the leaves start turning in Saugatuck, the Kalamazoo River gives you plenty of ways to see them. You can watch the colors from the deck of a paddlewheel boat, kayak past the wooded shoreline, hike above the river, or climb to the top of Mount Baldhead for a view that stretches across Saugatuck, Douglas, the river, and Lake Michigan.

Fall color in Saugatuck typically peaks between mid- and late October. While exact timing shifts every year depending on the weather, keeping an eye on local foliage reports as your trip approaches will help you time your visit just right.
