65.8 miles: 1 hours, 19 minutes

Lush green hills cozy up to quiet farmlands, creating a peaceful setting on the shores of Lake Michigan. Most of Michigan’s Scenic Route 31 is rural, featuring orchards and vineyards, but the byway also sports a few quaint resort towns like Charlevoix. Slow down and enjoy the serene atmosphere.
