Surrounded by green space, and cut in half by the majestic Grand River, Lansing is a great choice for outdoor pursuits too. Follow the tree-lined Lansing River Trail past green parks and city landmarks, on winding paths, and over wooden boardwalks and bridges to get a real feel for the city.

Year-round escapes to Lansing
You can enjoy Lansing vacation rentals right throughout the year. The local climate is influenced by the lakes, with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, but it experiences significantly less snowfall that other more westerly areas of Michigan. Come in summer to enjoy temperatures in the 60s and 70s – great for making the most of this green city's trails and parks. Or, visit in winter to enjoy snowy fun and winter sports like cross-country skiing, sledding and snow-shoeing. Lansing's annual Silver Bells parade is a festive celebration the Friday before Thanksgiving which culminates in the lighting of the city's Christmas tree and a spectacular firework show.
Lansing's green spaces
Lansing boasts one of the oldest farmers' markets in the US, established way back in 1909. You can hike along the Lansing River Trail to the market, then browse the stores of produce, beers, wines, baked good and specialty foods. In summer you can catch blues and jazz concerts here, or rent a kayak or canoe and paddle out onto the wide waters of Grand River. The Lansing River Trail connects with tree-shaded city parks, the Lansing Pathway and Sycamore trails, so there are miles more walking, rollerblading, cycling, nature and picnicking adventures to be enjoyed from your Lansing vacation rental.
