Imagine a swath of breathtaking Great Lakes shoreline, idyllic inland lakes

and rivers, charming harbor towns, one legendarily romantic island and a swashbuckling dose of

Great Lakes history and we’ll show you a Petoskey area vacation. There is something for everyone

in this land at the tip of Michigan’s mitt. From the Straits of Mackinac with its two historic forts

and the magic of Mackinac Island, to the miles of sandy beaches at Petoskey and Wilderness State

Parks and the starry galaxies of Dark Sky Park (yep, a park devoted to the night sky), this area is

made for memorable family vacations. No kids? We’ve got wineries, breweries, upscale eateries and

big city-styled boutiques and galleries. And if you’ve ever seen the sun set behind the Mackinac

Bridge, or from the bluffs of Mackinac Island and Harbor Springs, or the marina at Bay Harbor, you’ll

understand, this area exudes romance. Come on up to Petoskey and experience everything you ever

imagined in a vacation!

Bear River Whitewater Park: This is one of Lower Michigan’s few true whitewater experiences, with challenging drops and rapids to thrill experienced paddlers. Beginning at the Sheridan Street bridge in Petoskey and continuing three miles to the mouth of Little Traverse Bay, the Bear River drops 80 feet and boasts a 2.5 rapids classification—and a 3 or 4 when the water is high.

Inland Waterway: The meandering, 40-mile Inland Waterway is one of Michigan’s longest interconnected chains of lakes and rivers, stretching from Pickerel and Crooked Lakes all the way to where the Cheboygan River empties into Lake Huron. Meander the slow-mo waters by pontoon, kayak or even stand-up paddleboard. Big beautiful Burt and Mullett lakes are great for sailing and power boating. Rent your Inland Waterway craft at any of the following marinas:

WILDERNESS STATE PARK: The Lower Peninsula’s largest piece of contiguous undeveloped land encompasses 10,000 magnificent acres of forest, wetlands, meadows, dunes and 26 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. And it’s all yours to explore. Hit the miles of trails, which include a five-mile section of the epic North Country Trail, by foot or mountain bike; rock-hunt, picnic or take a dip along the gorgeous hike-in beaches on Sturgeon Bay. Overnighters can stay in one of the park’s rustic but cozy cabins, some of which are on the water, some in the woods. Three rustic bunkhouses and 250 campsites are available as well; reservations necessary. 903 WILDERNESS PARK DR., CARP LAKE, 231.436.5381.

HEADLANDS INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY PARK: One of only a handful of these premier star-gazing parks in the world, the park is building a brand new bricks-and-mortar center this year (so pardon its stardust!). Programming will continue while the construction goes on, and as always visitors are encouraged to bring sleeping bags, chairs and blankets and enjoy the heavens all night long. 15687 HEADLANDS RD., MACKINAW CITY, 231.348.1704, EMMETCOUNTY.ORG/DARKSKYPARK.

TUNNEL OF TREES: This 16-mile designated Scenic Heritage Route, also known as M119, begins in Harbor Springs and ends in Cross Village. The narrow black top lacks a centerline (caution: don’t drive this route if you are in a hurry!) and traces an ancient Native American trail along a spectacular bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Bordered by a thick hardwood forest that parts occasionally to offer tantalizing glimpses of Lake Michigan, the Tunnel of Trees is beautiful four seasons a year—so bring your camera. In the spring morels and trillium carpet the forest floor. Summer brings a thick green canopy that turns red and gold in autumn. In winter, views of the icy lake open up. Popular stops along the route include Pond Hill Farm, Thorn Swift Nature Preserve (and its beautiful Lake Michigan beach), the Legs Inn (a Polish restaurant housed in a 1920s stone building) and the old-timey Good Hart General Store.


BIKINGPedal Little Traverse Wheelway: The 26-mile trail runs along the bay between Charlevoix and Harbor Springs. The wide, paved pathway makes it especially friendly for families with small children. The East Segment in Petoskey begins at the Little Traverse History Museum, and continues along Bayfront Park (a perfect picnic spot) and through the gorgeous Victorian-era community of Bay View. Map available online. TRAILSCOUNCIL.ORG.

Boyne: Both Boyne Mountain (in Boyne Falls) and Boyne Highlands (in Harbor Springs) offer miles of both paved and mountain bike trails—to ride solo or on guided treks. Hardcore mountain bikers will want to check out the Bike Park at the Highlands, an experts-only mountain bike area where narrow, naturally cut trails and obstacles like ramps and jumps will challenge even the most aggressive riders. Bike rentals available on-site. 855.688.7022, BOYNE.COM.

Avalanche Mountain Preserve: This heavily wooded, 30-acre gem of a park in Boyne City is interwoven with mountain bike trails (and a disc golf course!). Break from your pedaling to climb the 462-step stairway to the top of the mountain, with a viewing platform to take in the spectacular vista overlooking Lake Charlevoix. 1129 WILSON ST., BOYNE CITY, 231.582.6597,

LIGHTHOUSE CRUISES: Maritime history buffs will love the lighthouse cruises aboard Shepler’s ferries, which head into Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and Les Cheneaux Islands to offer rare views of historic, often-inaccessible lighthouses. 556 E. CENTRAL, MACKINAW CITY,

231.436.5023, SHEPLERSFERRY.COM.

MCGULPIN POINT LIGHTHOUSE: At 145 years old, this is one of the oldest sur-viving lighthouses in the Straits. Open daily for tours. 500 HEADLANDS DR., MACKINAW CITY,

PETOSKEY, 231.347.2620, PETOSKEYMUSEUM.ORG.

VINTAGE BASEBALL: Using uniforms and equipment dating back to the sport’s 19th-century origins, Petoskey’s vintage baseball club—the Mossbacks—makes the spirit and sportsmanship (and occasional outlandishness) of America’s favorite pastime come alive. Admission is free; schedule online. MOSSBACK.WIX.COM.BASEBALLCLUB.

FORT MACKINAC, MACKINAC ISLAND: This major island attraction began its life just as the American Revolution wound to a close and went on to serve as a strategic out-post for British (War of 1812) and U.S. armies for more than 115 years. These days, the parade grounds and historic structures have been preserved as interactive exhibits, with costumed interpreters leading demonstrations to show what life was like for the soldiers and families who called this place home. Reenactments include cannon salutes, rifle firing, children’s games and even Victorian-era baseball. Stay for lunch in the fort’s Tea Room, where you’ll find spectacular views over downtown. 231.436.4100, MACKINACPARKS.COM.

COLONIAL MICHILIMACKINAC, MACKINAW CITY: Cannon smoke, musket firing and gazing out at the Straits over palisade walls are hallmarks of every visit to this colonial fort and fur-trading village. From 1715 to the early 1780s, this fortified encampment served as the western Great Lakes’ fur trading epicenter. All of that comes alive at what is now an open-air, live-action museum and active archaeological site (more than a million artifacts have been unearthed here since excavation began in 1959). Children can participate in soldier drills, crafts, Victorian dances, games, and can even help tend the vegetable garden and cook dinner over an open hearth. The annual Fort Michilimackinac Pageant, featuring the reenactment of a Native American siege of the fort, every Memorial Day Weekend (FMPCFES-

TIVAL.ORG), is a great way to get acquainted with this hub of Great Lakes history. 231.436.4100,

MACKINACPARKS.COM.

CONCERTSBay View: This community of 19th-century gingerbread cottages has always had a strong connection to the fine arts—dating back to its founding in 1875 as a Methodist retreat camp on the shores of Little Traverse Bay. These days, Bay View’s annual summer performing arts series showcases live chamber music, theater arts, comedy and other entertainment for nine full weeks. 1570 WATER ST., BAY VIEW,

12 Reasons to Visit Mackinac Island1. The Ferry Ride: Three lines,

Arnold, Shepler’s and Star Line service the island from Mackinaw City and St. Ignace. The ride across the sparkling Straits of Mackinac takes about a half hour. With views of the Mackinac Bridge and the island’s historic buildings coming into focus, you’ll be there before you know it.

2. No Cars: The island’s original 1898 ban on cars was looking out for the live-lihood of the carriage drivers. Islanders get around by bike, dray, carriage and on foot, instead. Can you say peaceful?

3. Ride a Bicycle Built for Two: The relatively flat, paved 8-mile path around the island’s perimeter is great for biking—including relationship building on a bicycle built for two. Rent one for the two of you at any of the bike rental shops near the ferry docks downtown.

4. Fudge: The warm, sweet scent of cooking fudge has been filling Mackinac Island streets since the late 1800s—seems that the climate is perfect . Most of today’s fudge vendors still use the time-honored, labor-intensive technique of “paddling” the warm, liquid fudge on marble slabs until it cools. A slice or two is the ultimate souvenir.

5. Carriage Rides: A horse-drawn buggy tour is a quintessential Mackinac experience—and a fitting way to view the island’s beautiful Victorian homes. Mackinac Island Carriage Tours, the old-est and largest continuously operating horse-and-buggy livery in the world, offers narrated tours of landmarks and historical points of interest. 7278 MAIN ST.,

MACKINAC ISLAND, 906.847.3325, MICT.COM.

6. History: It’s everywhere here. Find it in the Victorian cottages that line the bluffs, in the late 18th-century Fort Mackinac, the ongoing reconstruction of Fort Holmes, originally built by the British in 1814, a re-creation of a Native American birchbark chapel and so much more.

7. The Finish Line: Two of the Great Lake’s most revered yacht races, the Port Huron to Mackinac and the Chicago to Mackinac. The races are in July and run a week apart.

8. Arch Rock: Mackinac’s unique geo-logic history created dramatic limestone landmarks, the most famous of which is Arch Rock, a rare formation rising 150 feet on the island’s southeast shore. A must-stop photo op.

9. Lilac Festival: The romance of Mackinac Island is arguably at its peak during this 10-day festival, a tradition that began with a horse-drawn parade more than 60 years ago on “Lilac Sunday.” Music, walking tours, wine tastings and more, all set to thousands of lilac trees in bloom. June 6–15, MACK-

INACISLANDLILACFESTIVAL.ORG

10. Enjoy the Grand Hotel: For the $10 admission fee, non-hotel guests can enjoy this 660-foot-long porch with its stellar views of the Straits of Mackinac. GRANDHOTEL.COM.

11. Tour the Gov’s Digs: Free tours of the Governor’s Summer Home run Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., starting June 17 and continuing through the summer.

12. Nightlife: The island’s historic saloons buzz with music and energy after sunset. Start the bar-hopping at the Pink Pony, a legendary watering hole for sailors (where the number of taps just doubled!), or Horn’s Gaslight Bar, allegedly the first Michigan establishment to gain a liquor license post-Prohibition.
