Warm Weather Outdoor Activities in Michigan

Summer in Michigan means one thing: embracing the heat and diving headfirst into a whirlwind of outdoor escapades. We're talking swimming and boating across the water; we're talking evening bonfires complete with yummy s'mores; and we're talking lawn games.

Yes, lawn games. And there are plenty to choose from Horseshoes? Check. Ladder ball? Double check. Giant Jenga? Triple check. But hold the phone—what in the world do we call that game with the giant wooden plank with the hole at the top that we try to toss bean bags into?

Is it Called Cornhole or Bag Toss?

A debate, perhaps as old as the game itself: Cornhole vs. Bag Toss.

Do Michiganders call it cornhole or bag toss, or even bags?

Regardless of nomenclature, as long as you've mastered the art of bean bag propulsion, you're golden. But let's be real, if you're calling it "bags," you might need to reconsider your life choices. Just saying. But, I guess we can still play.
