Little Traverse Wheelway

Reviewed By JillbPA

We parked in Sunset Park in Petoskey and headed to Harbor Springs. In order to avoid the airport and the noise of busy roads, turn down Beach Road and follow this quiet road all the way to the delightful town of Harbor Springs. You will pass lovely homes and waterfront views. There are many eateries to choose from in Harbor Springs before you head back to your starting point.

The Oden State Fish Hatchery

Reviewed By MaribethB24 - Allendale, United States

The day we visited, the Visitor Center wasn't open, but we enjoyed the river cut out and the ponds. We were disappointed that we couldn't feed the fish, as friends had told us how much they enjoyed that. Still a very worthwhile stop!

Bayfront Park

Reviewed By enjoyasmile - Crown Point, United States

Searching for Petoskey Stones, walking out to the light house, watching the fishing boats, yachts, and sailboats, catching a baseball or softball game, browsing the history museum, relaxing on the large grass park lawn, walking the dog, so many things to do at this park near the marina. There is plenty of parking and you can walk under the road and up to the GasLight District of Petoskey.

Boyne Highlands

The resort features one of the longest ski run sin the lower peninsula of Michigan at over a mile long and the most skiable acres. Boyne Highlands is the perfect place to spend your vacation with so many additional activities such as dog sledding and horseback riding. Boyne Highlands offers great four-season activities, which means you can enjoy the fun and excitement of the Petoskey area all year long!

Two tremendous golf courses. Arthur Hills is one of the most scenic you will every play and The Moor course is also special. Both are in perfect shape and the greens are consistent, true and fast. I would go again in a minute. Fantastic views and elevation changes.

Nub's Nob

Recreation area offers downhill and cross-country skiing, 246 acres on 43 slopes and runs up to almost a mile in length.

Reviewed By 950rayr - Grand Rapids, United States

Another great annual ski trip to Nub's Nob! I just wanted to pass along my thanks to Nub's Nob for enforcing their Covid protocols. There was a young lady constantly traversing the lobby to make sure that folks were masked up properly. They have suspended indoor eating and drinking this season to allow more people to come in and warm up. They have the food system down. Once you get it, just bag it and head outside (we ate in the car to stay warm). Nub's is always well groomed and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We appreciate that they limited lift tickets to keep the crowd down. Best skiing in Michigan!
