As spring begins to unfold in West Michigan, Ludington invites visitors to experience the season's arrival.
This lakeshore town, known for its sandy beaches, scenic trails, and maritime charm, is the perfect place to shake off the winter blues. Whether you're enjoying the outdoors or savoring the flavors of Downtown Ludington's Restaurant Week (April 21 - April 27, 2025), this destination makes for a perfect weekend getaway.
As the days get longer, Ludington State Park's trails become a great spot for a walk, with the first signs of spring appearing. While parts of the park remain closed until Summer due to construction, it's a great time to discover new trails that are still available for visitors south of the Sable River.
Restaurant Week is one of the highlights of early spring, offering a chance to explore Downtown Ludington's culinary scene. From cozy cafés serving up fresh breakfasts, to quick-serve lunch spots, and restaurants crafting seasonal specialties, it's the perfect opportunity to try something new or revisit a favorite spot. Special menus, unique flavors, and welcoming spaces make every meal an experience worth savoring.
But the best part of spring in Ludington is how seamlessly food and the outdoors come together. Grab a takeout lunch and enjoy it at Waterfront Park as boats begin to return to the harbor. Sip a handcrafted cocktail on a heated patio while watching the sunset over Lake Michigan. After a morning spent hiking or biking, reward yourself with a well-earned dinner at one of the area's many participating restaurants.
As the season unfolds, Ludington invites visitors to embrace both adventure and relaxation. Whether you're here for the trails, the shoreline, or the flavors of Restaurant Week, spring is the perfect time to experience the town's welcoming spirit.
