Lake Huron Coast Tours



Lake Huron Circle Tour Route

    In Michigan, the mainline of the LHCT follows signed state trunkline routes  in its entirety, although in some places the nearest state highway to the  Lake Huron may be several miles away. This route listing lists the official  route as well as any locally-designated and marked "Lake Huron Circle Tour  Loops," which are generally posted with brown signs. These loop routes  are detailed below the mainline route below:

    •      The LHCT enters Michigan from Ontario via the Bluewater Bridge in  Sarnia.
    •      The tour takes the first exit past US Customs and heads north out  of Port Huron via M-25.

    •      The route continues on M-25 along the Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay shorelines  taversing the entire Thumb between Port Huron and Bay City.

    •      At Bay City, the LHCT departs M-25 and turns northerly to follow M-13 toward Standish.

    •      When M-13 ends at US-23 south of Standish, the route continues northerly  via US-23 parallel to the Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron shores through Tawas  City, Oscoda, Alpena, Rogers City and Cheboygan.

    •      At the northern terminus of US-23 in Mackinaw City, the LHCT veers  north to follow I-75 over the Mackinac  Bridge and into the Upper Peninsula.

    •      At the north end of the Mackinac  Bridge, the circle tour exits I-75 at Exit 344A and follows BL  I-75 through downtown St Ignace.

    •      North of St Ignace, the LHCT re-joins I-75 at Exit 348 and continues  northerly.

    •      The route leaves I-75 at Exit 359 and continues easterly along M-134 through Cedarville to M-48.

    •      At this point, a LHCT Loop Route continues  easterly on M-134 into  De Tour Village, then doubles back via North Caribou Lake Rd, terminating  at M-48/LSCT a few  miles north of the M-48 & M-134 junction.

    •      The mainline LHCT turns northerly from M-134 and continues northwesterly  on M-48 through Goetzville to M-129.

    •      The route continues northerly on M-129 through Pickford and into Sault  Ste Marie.

    •      In Sault Ste Marie, the circle tour turns westerly from the end of  M-129 on BS  I-75.

    •      At I-75 Exit 392, the route turns northerly to traverse the final  three miles of I-75 and crosses the International Bridge into Sault Ste  Marie, Ontario.

    •      Continue on the Lake Huron Circle Tour into Ontario at the Ontario  Highways website.

Lake Huron Circle Tour Route Loop Route (De Tour Village)

    A locally-designated loop route which helps circle tour motorists navigate  into and through the off-route community of De Tour Village, the jumping-off  point for the ferry to Drummond Island. As with all Loop Routes, this route  is designated with white-on-brown circle tour signs, using the same LHCT "logo."

The  route:
    •      The LHCT Loop Route begins at the jct of M-134 & M-48 between Cedarville and De Tour Village and continues easterly on M-134 toward De Tour Village.
    •      The route enters De Tour Village on M-134, but continues northerly  through the village when M-134 turns east toward the Drummond Island  Ferry dock.
    •      On the north end of town, the loop route turns west and follows North  Caribou Lake Rd.
    •      The loop route ends at M-48/LHCT a few miles north of the jct of M-134.
