5 Abandoned Michigan Spots You Have To Visit at Least Once My exploration of the great state of Michigan may have been temporarily halted due to the thing known as...winter, but I'm already planning my next adventure. And before you come at me with the incredibly logical argument of, "you can still do things during winter" allow me to remind you that I'm a Floridian transplant. I didn't necessarily acquire the skills to traverse the icy roads with confidence. But, I'm working on it. All of that being said, it turns out Michigan has some beautiful/creepy/historic abandoned sites that are just calling to be explored, at least according to Thrillist. Now, I feel I must preface this with a word of caution. If you plan to visit abandoned sites please make sure that they're not private property or condemned for any reason. Safety should always come first.
