Near Lake Michigan Apr to May. Cool, very unlikely to freeze but that is possible. Some years can be wet. Should not be buggy, bugs come later. But I would carry a small bottle of repellant just in case.

I have not toured near the lake so I can't comment on routes. If I was doing that trip, I would probably bring a long sleeve jersey and a short sleeve. Some days I would expect to want long pants instead of shorts. The UP (Upper Penninsula of Michigan) would definitely be chillier.

I use this website to assess weather conditions in places I might go to. I picked Sheboygan as being about half way from top to bottom. You can pick other places on the map for more data.

Further inland, temperature will swing much more, as the lake buffers temperatures to some degree.
