Recreation

On the quieter side, our five state parks are the perfect places to rollerblade, bike or hike through magnificent forests - and of course, hunt for morel mushrooms.  And 25,000 acres of scenic natural beauty await you in our nature preserves. 

Shoppers will love the Gaslight District in Petoskey, the quaint shops of downtown Boyne City and Harbor Springs, and the upscale village at Bay Harbor.

This is a place where you can enjoy activity after activity every minute of the day.  Or you can just sit back and let the day unfold at its own leisurely pace.
