Cadillac

城市概覽

There are two large lakes in the Cadillac vicinity. Lake Cadillac lies entirely within the boundaries of the city; this has led to a geographically unique community, with most city commerce taking place on the east shore of the lake—the downtown—and many businesses catering to tourists located on the west shore. Locals refer to this western portion as Cadillac West. Knowing this terminology can be helpful if you plan to stay in the area. The area north of the city limits at 13th Street is officially known as Haring Township, though residents generally consider it to be part of Cadillac; when differentiation is needed, locals will often refer to it simply as the north end. Generally speaking, Haring Township features most of the area's chain establishments: big box stores like Meijer and Walmart, chain restaurants, and fast food mainstays. To the west of Lake Cadillac lies the larger Lake Mitchell. While both lakes offer public access, Lake Mitchell is more nearly surrounded by private residences and may be more difficult for non-homeowners to reach. The two lakes are connected by the small Clam Lake Canal which has an unusual feature: as winter approaches, the canal freezes over. But once the two lakes freeze over, the ice on the canal thaws and the canal remains unfrozen for the remainder of winter. The residents of Cadillac and the surrounding area, like most Midwesterners, are open and friendly. If you need directions, locals will be happy to assist. Visitors are also welcome to ask for advice on where to get a tasty lunch or, if needed, a quick repair for their bicycle.

如何抵達

By car Driving is the most practical means by which to visit Cadillac. The primary route, US-131, comes in from Grand Rapids. The state route MI-115 is used by visitors from the Detroit area. MI-55 comes in from Manistee and Lake Michigan, passing through Cadillac on its way to Lake Huron. Be sure to enjoy the scenery of Northern Michigan on your way to Cadillac.

By bus Indian Trails offers bus service to Cadillac from various Michigan cities.

By plane 1 Wexford County Airport (CAD IATA) (approximately two miles north of the downtown area). Accessible to private aircraft.

當地交通

By car Personal automobile is the most convenient means of getting around, with free parking available around the city. Parking downtown is convenient and plentiful, even during major events. The main street through Cadillac is called Mitchell Street, but business addresses sometimes refer to it by its highway designation of BR-131. If you ask for directions while driving in Cadillac, they'll likely involve Mitchell Street. North of Cadillac in Haring Township, the major east-west road is 34 Road, though locals seldom refer to it as anything except Boon Road. In Cadillac West, a brief portion of M-115 along the lake is occasionally referred to as Sunnyside Drive.

By bicycle Biking is highly recommended for those staying on or near the lakes. Cadillac has a bike path along the shores of Lake Cadillac, so east-west travel between the downtown and the Cadillac West is convenient. Biking on the local streets is safe, and there are a number of nature trails in the area that provide great off-roading. Bicycle sales, service and supplies are available at Einstein Cycle on Mitchell Street.

On foot Walking around the downtown area is easy and safe in the summer. As with most cities in the northern part of the country, winter conditions will vary from day to day; even sidewalks which have been shoveled clear will lead to street crossings filled with melting snow and ice, so winter footwear is advisable for walking farther than just to your parked car. Outside of the city limits, particularly in the retail-heavy Haring Township, sidewalks are not always present, and walkers may find themselves on the shoulders of a road.

By taxi Cadillac Taxi operates an on-demand taxi service within the city. Uber and Lyft rides are also available in the area.

By bus The Cadillac/Wexford Transit Authority runs a demand response bus service. In the summer the Authority runs a mid-day fixed-route service. The line runs between Cadillac West and the downtown.
