Here in Michigan, we generally bring in the new year with cold weather and plenty of indoor activities – but what about when we’d like to get outside for some fresh, snowy air? Luckily, there are plenty of outdoor activities in Macomb and Oakland County that are fun options for both family outings and date nights. Below you can find information on local ski resorts, sledding hills, and outdoor ice rinks that will guarantee winter fun.
We recommend contacting each location in advance to confirm operating hours, if reservations are required, and what social distancing measures may be in place due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
