"Top of the Lake Circle Tour"
(Schoolcraft County, Michigan)

Join Host Tom O’Boyle as he takes us on a tour at the most northern edge of Lake Michigan in the place we fondly call the Upper Peninsula. Our tour will take us to Fayette Historic Townsite all the way to the Seul Choix Point Lighthouse at the other end. In between we will be stopping at the Seney Wildlife Sanctuary, the Thompson Fish Hatchery and many more.


Great Getaways is a television travel series that spotlights active getaway adventures across the Midwest and Canada with an emphasis on the outdoors. Host Tom O'Boyle travels to a variety of destinations and talks to the locals about vacation and recreation opportunities. Join us as we continue to discover more Great Getaways.


2023 was Great Getaways' 20th year on PBS and along with new shows we brought our viewers an occasional look back at those 20 years of fun. We get mail all the time from folks saying we have been watching you since the beginning and still enjoy every show. We are looking forward to our 21st year in 2024!
