To keep informed on travel information and restrictions pertaining to specific Michigan destinations and their attractions, lodging, restaurants and more this season, please refer to local official tourism websites. Destinations throughout Michigan are also closing their downtown streets to traffic to create safer, walkable environments that allow visitors and residents to socially distance.
