Michigan’s Frozen Winter Magic
While we love a good powdery snowfall, it’s especially magical when beautiful natural attractions freeze over. Sheets of ice shimmering under the sun create an otherworldly effect that constantly reminds us why Michigan is such a special place to be any time of year.
Ever imagined yourself ice climbing? First-timers are welcome to the Michigan Ice Fest in Munising, and seasoned climbers arrive here year after year to tackle these frozen waterfall formations.

Outside of Marquette, the astonishing Eben Ice Caves are formed when melting snow falls and freezes over cliffs. @thisfantasticbluemarble
Look at that amazing lighthouse view! Two lighthouses grace the Grand Haven South Pier, connected by a catwalk. @pat_morgan_images
More lighthouse luminescence! The St. Joseph Lighthouse still shines even when it’s coated in ice in the winter. @mibeachtowns, footage by @burgerplex
These frozen falls look as if they’ve stopped in time. Experience them for yourself at Wagner Falls Scenic Site in Munising.
