Under the Radar Michigan - Season 15 (2025)

Luge like a winner, try Tip Up Town, hike to the awesome Eben Ice Caves, and fat-tire bike some Traverse City trails.

Squeeze some apples into cider, devour some Polish food at the end of a tunnel, see stars in Traverse City, fall for some falls, and go trick-or-treating in Romeo.

Visit a house of music, historic Detroit, meet some awesome Arab Americans, hear the call of the wild, and visit an actual air zoo.

Tear up the track in Pontiac, paint the Plant Rouge in Dearborn, learn some auto history, then head out to the middle of a field in hickory corners.

Have a frank at Bills, find Detroit's best coney, yum at Yesterdog, meet Hotdog Man himself, and enjoy a sausage or two at Nowicki's.

On the Thumb Coast, cruise a classic ship, live it up and chow down by the river, paddle through peaceful backwaters, and dine on fried chicken like it's 1936.
