Michigan's Adventure Board

Why doesn't MIA have a board here? It's still pretty close to Cedar Point and there's a lot of talk about it in here.

Look how quiet the Geauga lake board is...

Pretty close? It's four hours away!

4 hours? You must be a crazy manic of a driver Jeff. :)

My family vacations in Holland, MI about one hour south of MIA off route 31. It took me 5 1/2 hours to get to CP when I made the drive a couple years ago. But there was a ton of construction around the Mich./Ohio border. So if I add it up, I'm thinking 6 to 7 hours away.

Except its not equivalent. You wouldn't drive all the way down 31 to Holland just to go east, you'd take 31 to I-96. Its all freeway with a 70 speed limit (which means 80 is feasible without drawing attention.) I would wager that 4 hours is pretty good estimation.

No, it's more like 5. I live about a mile off of I-96 and its a good 3 hours to Cedar Point, and 2 hours to MiA.

I did a quick google maps and its 4:27 on there. Factor in that that is using posted speeds and I can see cutting it to 4 hours. This all depends, of course, on driving style.

Which way do you go from Lansing to CP anyway? When I went (from Grand Rapids) last year, I went across to 23 and took that down. Do you go all the way to 275 or do you take 23?

I live in between MIA and CP. I cannot see how one could make the drive in less then 4 hours. But I would think 4.5 hours would be a fair estimate.


Well, whaddya know. There is a Candy Mountain.

96E--> 23S --> 475E --> 75N --> 280S --> 2

But it's still 3 hours just about any way you go. Within 10 minutes

It's also 104 miles from my house to US-31, and then you have to go north on 31 about 12 miles and then through North Muskegon (or if you go all the way to Russel Road, I think its more like 17 miles)

The way I take to CP from Lansing; 96E-275S-75S-280S-2. Generally, 2:45. I have done it in 2:30.

Mi Adv. 1:45

Guess I'm the only one who follows posted speeds. ;)

hey, i find posted speeds to be nice recommendations... yes recommendations


I live in Muskegon, it's between 4.5 and 5 hours depending on stuff like traffic, weather, speed, etc...
