Muskegon is about 175 miles west and north of Ann Arbor, on the shores of Lake Michigan north of Grand Haven.

It is the Michigan terminus for the Lake Express car ferry to Milwaukee, for travelers heading toward Wisconsin who want to miss Chicago traffic.

Muskegon is also the home of Michigan's Adventure, an amusement park geared towards kids and families.
