Lakeshore Harvest Ride

Scenic tour in countryside near lake in SW Michigan. Cyclists can visit and make purchases at many art studios, wineries, cider mills, family farms and orchards.

The Lakeshore Harvest Ride is a fun and scenic bicycle tour over rolling countryside near Lake Michigan. It starts in South Haven or Douglas, two fun harbor towns located in southwest Michigan. It is on Saturday, September 18… this is the best time for a Michigan bike tour. September graces Southwest Michigan with dryer, cooler weather. The summer crowds have ebbed, but our harbor towns of Saugatuck/Douglas and South Haven are still bustling with fun activities and cultural events. Unlike most bike tours, cyclists don’t just pass by scenic farms and vineyards, they can stop to sample the harvest and make purchases. Better yet, a concierge service delivers any purchases to riders at their start point for easy loading into their car. Visit family farms and orchards, wineries, cider mills and art studios. Each start point has four routes for varying abilities from 15 to 62 miles in length. Lunch, snacks, and water are included. Early Bird registration discounts are valid through August 22, 2021. Save $15 per person for 1 to 2 riders and $20 per person for groups of 3 or more (Family & Friends rate*). Regular online registration discounts are valid from August 23 to September 12, 2021.
