Harbor Springs is a city in the Mackinac Area of Northern Michigan.
Get in
Arrive on M-119, which becomes Main Street as you approach town. There are only several blocks of "Downtown" shopping, so be sure not to miss them!
Get around
There is essentially no public transportation in Harbor Springs, so any travel to the greater Harbor Springs area, such as the ski resorts, requires a car. However, during the summer months it is quite popular for residents to travel by bicycle or by foot. In fact, in the exclusive community of Harbor Point, there are no cars allowed during the summer months.
See
Check out the view from the bluff above the city; you can see all of Little Traverse Bay and it's yearly changing vista.
