Harbor Springs, MI Real Estate, Homes For Sale, School & Area Information

When we mention "trees," especially here in the North, we tend to think of the glorious autumn colors that burst on the scene like a celebration and then tumble down to carpet our path. It can't be denied; the fall colors in Northern Michigan are second to none.

One special section of roadway showcases the spectacular beauty of our trees here in the Harbor Springs area. Known as the "Tunnel of Trees," this stretch of road winds from just north of downtown Harbor Springs, up Lakeshore Drive to Cross Village and beyond. Trees stretch across the road towards each other, providing a canopy for beautiful homes, wildlife, and exquisite plants. You can even view Lake Michigan from between the trees. Autumn may be the most popular time to travel here, but come anytime. Come every time! Experience the tender spring greens as they curl up the trees from the forest floor, the stark color contrast of winter white against dark trunks, and the deep cool greens of summer as they run riot over the scenery. The Tunnel of Trees is a treasure waiting for you to discover.

One of Northern Michigan's special places to either live or visit is Harbor Springs. This is a great opportunity to enjoy nature, shopping or just take in the beautiful sights. Harbor Springs offers activities all year. Boats and yachts line up in the harbor in the summer, during winter you can watch the snowfall in the middle of the woods or down the ski hills, or drive down the Tunnel of Trees in the fall. But, what about April? Half the town is gone and most local businesses are taking a vacation.

Downtown now hosts "First Friday's Downtown Harbor Springs". Come out, eat, drink, shop and support local merchants on Friday, April 6 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. There will be live music, April booking specials on many services, product specials, drinks and snacks and free demos with a purchase. Come one, come all and have some fun in April!
