We have the perfect small-town weekend in Michigan planned for you. Sawyer is part of what some refer to as Harbor Country, has ties to Michigan wine country, and is even developing into a bit of a foodie town you might say. Pack all the essentials, jump on Red Arrow Highway, and make your way to all the things to do in Sawyer, Michigan, with its many attractions, including the popular Warren Dunes State Park.

At Warren Dunes State Park, climb the sand dunes, walk the beach, or swim in Lake Michigan.
