The Saugatuck-Douglas area owes much of its economic health to tourism, and a new travel book naming the region as one of 101 Best Outdoor Towns is sure to help. Citing Saugatuck Dunes State Park, dune rides, the chain ferry and other attractions, the book touts a variety of activities that are found only here.
According to excerpts from the story:
SAUGATUCK -- Walking the beach, kayaking and browsing shops and galleries helped make for a great three-day reunion for old friends Judy Brockman and Kate O'Shea.
"Yesterday, we went kayaking on the Kalamazoo River, then we went shopping in Saugatuck and had dinner at a great restaurant and took a walk along the boardwalk," Brockman said Saturday. "Right now, we're sitting around the pool at the Lake Shore Resort looking out on Lake Michigan and it looks like a picture."
Such experiences and options are why Saugatuck and neighboring Douglas were cited in the new travel book, "101 Best Outdoor towns: Unspoiled Places to Visit, Live & Play," by authors Greg Melville and Sarah Tuff.
