A secondary road running from Boyne Falls to Atwood is no longer a secret. This 28-mile scenic highway now known as the Breezeway draws visitors because it is gorgeous.
The Breezeway isn’t just a road. This travel adventure includes scenic overlooks, recreational opportunities like hiking, biking and kayaking and is a popular bike and motorcycle route. The Breezeway winds from Boyne Falls through East Jordan, Ellsworth, and Atwood.
Along the way are art galleries, antique shops, resale shops, orchards, farms, and farmers markets, lodging establishments, restaurants, parks, and more. Nearly 200 businesses and scenic opportunities are included on The Breezeway. The cheery Breezeway logo appears at mile markers along the route.
Bumper stickers appear on cars, trucks, and RVs that drive The Breezeway. The drive is so popular that business has grown for businesses along the route. Summer festivals and special events along The Breezeway such as a Cruise celebrate everything from art to harvest. One highlight of the summer season for many is a Breezeway garage sale.
