Written Directions

Driving south on US 31 in Traverse City turn North on Peninsula Drive (old mission peninsula). Peninsula drive is an out and back to the light house at the end of the peninsula.

Scenery

Splitting East and West bay's of lake Michigan this ride is 20 miles to the light house and beach at the end. Along the trip you will see crystal blue water on both sides. Beautiful homes on bluffs. Quaint stores and tons of wineries and vineyards. Of course being the cherry capital of the world if your there in May you will also get to see thousands of acres of cherry trees in bloom.

Drive Enjoyment

The road is a great mix of flat, hills and corners. For the cruzer it is relaxing. For the sport bike rider you have some nice back to backs to navigate.

Tourism Opportunities

Wineries wineries and more wineries. Oh yeah and the beaches are pretty nice too.

There are a few dirt roads to avoid at the north end of the peninsula. The south end has some nice houses and a view of the bay

Made the trip up to the top of M-27 while staying in Traverse City. We were up here doing the M-22 ride, and just spent the night. Great place.
