Yup. The snow up there is can be very heavy at times, so snow tires or 4x4 will be necessary. That part of MI is great for outdoors stuff too. I'm usually there 4-5 times a year for some weekends.

I'm from the Manistee area, which is about and hour and fifteen minutes north of Muskegon. very nice area, but yea, the snow may get a little overwhelming. Its a lot worse where I live than Muskegon during the winters though.
