LANSING, Mich. — The County Road Association of Michigan (CRA) released its 2023 listing of local roads residents can't miss out on seeing this fall.
“Taking a fall color tour down a county road is a great way to spend an afternoon,” said Denise Donohue, CEO of the CRA. “Michigan’s colors are among the best in the country, making fall the perfect opportunity to go out and enjoy the state’s natural beauty.”
