Located just five miles over the Michigan border, Union Pier started as a shipping pier that traded timber within the Chicago area. A small town, it boasts wineries, breweries, restaurants, corner stores, orchards, art, and antique stores. With some of the most quaint bed and breakfasts and rental properties, it is also home to vacation homes and full-time residents. It's also considered one of the best spots to enjoy Michigan's fall foliage. In Union Pier, you will find many activities to keep you busy being close to Warren Dunes State Park, Galien River County Park, and Warren Woods State Park.
