Finding Fun in Michigan
It’s our focus and a favorite spot in the world. Michigans Thumb is a region and a peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan, so named because the Lower Peninsula is shaped like a mitten.
We primarily cover the fascinating and unique aspects of the Upper Thumb. From Sebewaing, Bay Port, Caseville, Port Austin, Grindstone City, Harbor Beach, and Port Sanilac, this region has it all.
The Upper Thumb is blessed with sandy beaches, fun places to visit and great inexpensive places to eat. We compiled a listing of the top restaurants, grills, bakeries, and bars that offer breakfast. These are the top rated places to go for your morning meal according to the travel sites Yelp and TripAdvisor.
We find and explore the top six campgrounds for camping near the tourist town of Caseville in Michigan’s Upper Thumb.
