    Leave behind fast-paced urban living and discover the surprises nature has to offer "up north" when you travel Michigan's River Road Scenic Byway. Take in panoramic views from high sand bluffs as you follow the Au Sable River of Sand through 22 miles of white pine forests. Once a westward link for Native Americans and French Fur traders, the Au Sable gives the River Road its name and has shaped the history of the communities that call its banks home.
