What is Michigan like in October?
Michigan is absolutely stunning in October as the trees are changing and the days are crisp. It's perfect for hiking, biking and exploring as the bugs are minimal and the weather tends to be pretty moderate.
However, the temperatures can vary from needing a t-shirt to a full winter coat, so if you are visiting Michigan, be sure to check the weather before you pack!
We have toured Sleeping Bear Dunes in t shirts in October and by the end of the week we needed our winter jackets, so as the saying goes, "if you don't like the weather, wait a day!"
So many fun things happening in Michigan October 2023!
