Bay County, Michigan
Michigan’s thumb is home to Bay County at Saginaw Bay. This part of the Great Lakes State has a rich history tied to lumber and shipbuilding.
The county’s flat landscape makes it perfect for cycling, with miles of scenic trails to explore. Locals love their sugar beets. No, really. It’s a big deal here.
Ice fishing is practically a religion on the frozen bay. Bay City is the county seat and it boasts beautiful Victorian architecture and a waterfront.
