A narrow road with no center line

M-119 runs 27.5 miles, all inside Emmet County, and ends at Cross Village. North of Harbor Springs it narrows into the Tunnel of Trees, with no center line for most of the way. The route is a Scenic Heritage Route and a Pure Michigan Byway. Good Hart sits 13 miles north of Harbor Springs and 8 miles south of Cross Village. Petoskey is about 34 miles away by the shore road.

A replica of Father Marquette's cross stands on the bluff at Cross Village and can be seen from the lake.

Blissfest, Middle Village and St. Ignatius

Cross Village sits on a rise overlooking Lake Michigan. Each summer Blissfest, a folk music festival, fills Festival Farm on Division Road and draws people from across the country. The village also holds an annual pow wow. Down the shore, Good Hart traces back to a Jesuit mission started in 1741, and by 1823 the settlement was known as Middle Village. Its St. Ignatius Church burned in 1889 and was rebuilt. Lumber and fishing once kept Cross Village going.

Common questions

Is the Tunnel of Trees a designated scenic road?

It is. Wikipedia lists the M-119 Tunnel of Trees as a Scenic Heritage Route and one of the Pure Michigan Byways. It runs from Harbor Springs north to Cross Village, and the road narrows with no center line through most of the forested section. The drive draws heavy fall color traffic.

Are there protected beaches near Cross Village?

Parts of the Cross Village area are protected nesting grounds for the endangered piping plover, according to Wikipedia. If you are buying Lake Michigan frontage here, ask whether any part of the beach falls in a protected area, since that can limit how you use it.
