- Muskegon State Park: Hidden gem on the north side of town – Lake Michigan, hiking trails, channel access, camping, luge, cross-country ski trails, ice rink, the Blockhouse
- Bear Lake Tavern: On the channel between Bear Lake and Muskegon Lake with parking for customers with boats. Perch dinners, cheap drinks, and a BLT sandwich with a full pound of bacon.
- US 31 BBQ: Loose meat BBQ sandwiches with relish sauce. Sloppy as hell, delicious.
- Cheese Lady: Gourmet cheese and finger food at a reasonable price.
- Clay Avenue Cellars: Fruit wine made from hand-picked whole fruit. Tasting room in an old gas station.
- G&L Chili Dogs: The downtown locations is sadly gone, but the memory remains. Think Yesterdog, think Lafayette Coney Island - decadent.
- Hackley Stadium: Home of the Muskegon Big Reds, arguably the best high school football program in Michigan history. A must visit for any sports fan in Michigan.
- Hackley House: See how the lumber barons used to live… they lived quite well.
- Muskegon Summer Celebration: Summer Celebration has its problems (read my solutions), but still worth a visit. I mean, what other city hosts Ludacris, Toby Keith, and the B-52's in the same series? Also and art fair and carnival.
- USS Silversides: World War II submarine, now a museum on the channel between Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan.
- White River Light Station: Haunted lighthouse on the channel between White Lake and Lake Michigan. Great views, great museum.
- Hearthstone Bistro: The best gourmet soup in Michigan.
- Pere Marquette: National volleyball tournaments, bar on the beach.
- Muskegon Community College: Architectural gem built over water, reminiscent of Falling Water.
- Mr. Quick: It’s not just fast food. Burger bundles (5 burgers and a quarter pound of fries for $5). Quick’s used to be a chain, but most of the restaurants burned down – now that’s flame broiled.
- Getty Drive-In: Old-school drive-in movies. One of the few remaining.
