Pure Michigan: A Place Where Everyone Belongs

Some destinations stand out for their scenery, others for their culture. But Pure Michigan stands out for something deeper. Here, accessibility is not treated as an optional extra. It is simply part of how the state welcomes every visitor, every day of the year.

Across Michigan, you will find experiences designed to be enjoyed without barriers. Museums, attractions and public spaces offer step-free access, clear signage and sensory-friendly features that make exploring easier and more enjoyable. The state’s focus on inclusion means visitors can move at their own pace, without feeling limited in what they can experience.

Michigan’s outdoor spaces are just as inviting. As the birthplace of organised skiing in the U.S., the state has developed a wide range of adaptive winter sports programmes that open the slopes to more travellers. Resorts and organisations such as Challenge Mountain, Michigan Adaptive Sports, Mt. Brighton Adaptive Sports Program, Moving Mountains Adaptive Program and even the unique Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park offer adaptive skiing, snowboarding and winter activities that make the outdoors accessible to more people.

Hotels, restaurants and local businesses also share this commitment. Many provide clear accessibility information and thoughtful layouts, helping travellers feel confident from the moment they begin planning their trip.

What makes Michigan special is its mindset. Accessibility here is a promise, not a feature. Whether you are exploring a lakeside trail, discovering a cultural attraction, travelling with family or planning a peaceful getaway, Michigan is a destination where everyone belongs.
