Crisp autumn days are the perfect time to explore Michigan’s Coldwater Country. Located in south-central Michigan near the Indiana border, this scenic region—featuring Coldwater, Bronson, Quincy, Union City, Colon, Athens, & Allen —offers the perfect blend of fall color, outdoor fun, small-town charm, and cozy experiences.
With over 100 freshwater lakes, Coldwater Country invites you to enjoy the water amid stunning fall colors. Kayak the Union City Heritage Water Trail or cruise along the North and South chains of lakes in Coldwater. Cast a line for bass, perch, bluegill, and walleye before heading out to explore more.
Prefer dry land? Pedal through the countryside on 15- and 20-mile bike routes that showcase spectacular autumn foliage in gold, orange, and crimson. Or tee off at one of the area’s two dozen golf courses. The 9-hole Iyopawa Island Golf Course offers a unique island experience and a fun challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
Bring the whole family to the Adventure Zone for go-karts, mini golf, laser tag, and virtual reality games. Visit Critchlow’s Alligator Sanctuary in Athens to feed alligators and learn about these fascinating reptiles with a guided tour.
All aboard the Little River Railroad’s historic steam engine! Hop on the Pumpkin Train for breathtaking fall scenery or plan ahead for the festive Holiday Express in December—Santa included.
