Is it more scenic to drive to Lake Orion taking the route to Saginaw down to Lake Orion (north of Detroit) or would you advise taking the southern route through Lansing? Travel time is not a factor at all.

Neither my husband nor I have any knowledge of that area, but we want to take the ferry across Lake Michigan and then drive to Lake Orion to visit my husband's sister.

Also, any other recommendations for things to do or towns to visit that might be of interest would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Both routes offer their own scenic views, but if travel time isn't a concern, I'd suggest taking the route through Saginaw down to Lake Orion. This route tends to offer more countryside vistas and a quieter drive compared to the southern route through Lansing. Along the way, you'll likely encounter picturesque landscapes and charming small towns that add to the overall journey experience. As for recommendations, consider stopping by Frankenmuth, known for its Bavarian architecture and unique shops, or perhaps explore the Great Lakes Bay Region for outdoor activities and cultural attractions. Safe travels, and enjoy your visit to Lake Orion!
