The Westside Wander

[WW collage.png]

Holland and South Haven are two of Michigan’s most beloved beach towns so we figured, why not connect them?

We’re partnering with the fine folks at Velo City Cycles in Holland for an overnight wander along the west side of our beautiful state. And for this trip, we’re leaning into a couple of our favorite Bs: bikes and BBQ. Saturday night, after our ride into South Haven, we’ll settle in and enjoy some seriously good BBQ.

We’ll be staying at Kal-Haven Outpost – 50 acres of peaceful nature right along the Kal-Haven Trail.

Sunday starts with a pancake breakfast, followed by some time to explore before we roll back toward Holland.

This route is packed with everything we love – scenic trails, quiet dirt roads, and glimpses of Lake Michigan woven between our favorite beach towns. We’ll stop for lunch in Saugatuck on Saturday, then switch things up on Sunday as we head inland, riding through the Allegan State Game Area.

The Westside Wander is the perfect way to get your fix of Michigan’s summer beauty.
