PETOSKEY • BAY HARBOR • BAY VIEW
Petoskey
ince gaining respite popularity in the 1800s, the stream of visitors to the Petoskey hasn’t slowed. And residents understand why. It’s the bright blue water, small town feel and ample shopping, dining and culture opportunities. It also comes from the surrounding area. Bay View, to the north of downtown, offers a glimpse at Victorian and Queen Anne architecture and a longstanding music festival open to the public. And Bay Harbor, to the south, offers spectacular water views and shopping.
FARMERS MARKET
The farmers market in Petoskey runs 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Fridays, June 22-Sept. 28. Set up on the block of Howard Street between Mitchell and Michigan streets, the market offers local fruits, vegetables, flowers, cheeses, bread and meats and fish. Bay Harbor is host to an open air market 2-6 p.m. Fridays, starting May 25 and wrapping up Sept. 7. The event will bring together organic farmers and artisans, and offer music, gourmet food samplings and fresh produce and organic meats.

TRAILS
A short stop off the Little Traverse Wheelway near Petoskey State Park is the 58-acre Round Lake Preserve, with 1.5 miles of trail with frontage on Round Lake. Little Traverse Conservancy assisted the city of Petoskey with acquiring the Skyline Trail parcel and constructing an overlook platforms that offers views of the Petoskey region. It is now part of the North Country Trail system southeast of town, off Krause Road. The Allan and Virginia McCune Preserve lies seven miles east of Petoskey. It features three miles
of trail and frontage on Minnehaha Creek. Biking is allowed. Preserve maps for the above are available by calling (231) 347-0991 or visiting www.landtrust.org. Stretching approximately 26 miles from Harbor Springs to Charlevoix, the Little Traverse Wheelway is a favored destination for non-motorized activities. Its paved surface varies from 6 to 10 feet wide, with local routes connecting to the end towns. The trail is ideal for biking, along with walking, running and inline skating, and favorite vistas including the bluffs between Petoskey and Bay Harbor, and along Bayfront Park in Petoskey. The Petoskey-Mackinaw City Trail is an unimproved trail that runs 35 miles between the two cities. Set on a former railroad bed, it starts at Spring Lake Park along M-119, then cuts through Conway, Oden, Alanson, Pellston, Levering
and Carp Lake before ending at the trailhead off Shepler Drive in Mackinaw. The section of the trail from Spring Lake Park to Alanson is scheduled to be paved in the fall of 2012. Petoskey-Mackinaw City Trail provides easy access to the Michigan Fisheries Visitors Center in Oden and Wilderness State Park in Carp Lake, among other attractions. Trail maps for the above are available by calling Top of Michigan Trails Council, (231) 348-8280. Near downtown Petoskey is the Bear River Valley Recreation Area, which includes the Bear River nonmotorized and nature trails. The nonmotorized trail is about 1.1 paved, ADA-accessible miles between Lake and Sheridan streets, ideal for biking. Bordering both sides of the river are about 1.5 miles of gravel and boardwalk trails. The North Country Trail routes through the valley, continuing to Bayfront Park. n

BEACHES
Fisherman’s Island State Park offers five miles of shoreline just south of Charlevoix, along with 2,678 acres to explore. To the north of Charlevoix is Mount McSauba. It offers a rustic beach experience; a small parking lot is located off a pass to the dunes, and there are no bathroom facilities. Three beaches reside within Charlevoix city limits — Michigan, Ferry and Depot. Michigan Beach is located on Lake Michigan, with sandy beaches near the Pine River Channel. Ferry and Depot beaches are on Lake Charlevoix, with expanses of sand. All these Charlevoix beaches offer restroom facilities, picnic areas, playgrounds and lifeguards, with concession stands at Ferry and Michigan. Depot and Michigan have one pavilion each, and Ferry has three, which are available to rent; (231) 547-3253 or www. cityofcharlevoix.org.

TRAILS
The Fisherman’s Island Foot Trail travels three miles through Fisherman’s Island State Park. The trail offers mostly flat terrain with some hills. Susan Creek Preserve is east of Charlevoix. Situated along U.S. 31, it offers 1.4 miles of trails on its 223 acres, with more trail opportunities at the adjacent Taimi Hoag Preserve. The 26-mile Little Traverse Wheelway ends its path from Harbor Springs via the Charlevoix Township bike path, leading right into downtown Charlevoix.
ISLAND HOPPING
Michigan’s Emerald Isle — Beaver Island — is a mere 30 miles from downtown Charlevoix. The natural, lush setting isn’t the only reason the island earned this name. It’s also the Irish heritage that is threaded throughout its history and the histories of the people who live there. Two beacons mark the island — Beaver Head Lighthouse, to the south, and St. James Lighthouse. The latter is at the north end of the island, marking the entrance to St. James Harbor. There are two transport options for accessing Beaver Island — by air or by sea. By air (leaving from Charlevoix Municipal Airport): Fresh Air Aviation 06918 Old Norwood Road Charlevoix (231) 237-9482 (888) 359-7448 www.freshairaviation.net Island Airways 111 Airport Drive Charlevoix (231) 547-2141 (800) 524-6895 www.islandairways.com By sea (leaving from the dock in downtown Charlevoix): Beaver Island Boat Company 103 Bridge Park Drive, Charlevoix (231) 547-2311 (888) 446-4095 beaverislandboatcompany.com n

Inland Waterway T
he Inland Waterway winds nearly 40 miles across the Northern Michigan landscape. The series of rivers and lakes is a top destination for boaters who are looking to spend a leisurely day putting through towns or who want to open it up on some of the larger lakes. The waterway begins with Crooked and Pickerel lakes near Petoskey, winding north to its endpoint of Lake Huron at Cheboygan. Points of interest along the way are Burt Lake, Mullett Lake and the Indian River. There are locks on the Crooked River at Alanson and on the Cheboygan River, just before the downtown.

BEACHES
Sturgeon Bay is remote but filled with dune-covered beauty. Located between Mackinaw City and Cross Village, Sturgeon Bay is accessible from within Wilderness State Park (entrance in Carp Lake) as well as Sturgeon Bay Drive. The sandy beach with its shallow water is great for a family day. Situated near downtown Indian River, where the Indian River runs into Burt Lake, is DeVoe Beach. It features a large, sandy beach and a picnic area.
INTERNATIONAL IRONWORKERS FESTIVAL

Big Bear’s rafts have a zero percent tipping rate, and both tubes and rafts are open to people of all ages and experience levels. Raft and tube trips range from 1 to 3.5 hours. River trips end at Burt Lake State Park. State park passes for those who would like to stay and play a little bit longer in the park are available via the Recreational Passport, a sticker available when drivers renew their license plates. Passes are available for those from out of state at state park offices. Big Bear also offers an 18-hole adventure miniature golf course with waterfalls, hills and trees, as well as electric bumper boats with a squirt gun attached to each boat. Slated for a Memorial Day weekend opening is a new ropes challenge course put in by Big Bear. Participants will run the course on the second story, with their feet always at least 12 feet off the ground. But parents don’t need to worry: participants will be outfitted with a full body harness and safety lanyard, which is always hooked into the overhead safety system. For rates and more information, call (231) 238-8181 or visit www. bigbearadventures.com.

TRAILS
The Little Traverse Conservancy offers plenty of hiking and biking trails throughout its preserves in Emmet County. Hike and bike through the combined 482 acres of the Colonial Point/Chaboiganing preserves. Easy trails totaling 2.5 miles are located near Burt Lake, east of Brutus.
Together, the Andreae and Banwell Family preserves cover 539 acres, with more than four miles of frontage on Pigeon River and 5.2 miles of trails. The Andreae features a cabin for community group use. Preserve maps for the above are available by calling (231) 347-0991 or visiting www.landtrust.org. The Wildwood Hills Pathway is located between Petoskey and Indian River, and its access point offers parking off Wildwood Road. A favorite of mountain bikers, the area has multiple loops totaling 9.3 miles. Approximately 20 miles of trails open to hiking wind through Wilderness State Park in northern Emmet County. Portions of the trails are open to biking, and the North Country Trail overlaps seven miles of the trails. Spanning the almost 62 miles between Gaylord and Mackinaw City is the North Central State Trail. The 10-foot-wide packed, crushed limestone surface trail offers varied terrain and easy access to Gaylord, Vanderbilt, Wolverine, Indian River, Topinabee, Cheboygan and Mackinaw City. A product of the Rails-to-Trails program, the Petoskey-Mackinaw City Trail is an unimproved trail that runs the 35 miles between the two cities. The trail begins at Spring Lake Park along M-119 and jogs through Conway, Oden, Alanson, Pellston, Levering and Carp Lake before ending at the trailhead off Shepler Drive in Mackinaw. Take a break along the trail for easy visits to the Michigan Fisheries Visitors center in Oden and Wilderness State Park in Carp Lake. The section of the trail from Spring Lake Park to Alanson is scheduled to be paved in the fall of 2012. Trail maps for the two above are available by calling Top of Michigan Trails Council, (231) 348-8280.

ISLAND HOPPING
The only motors to come near Mackinac Island are the ferries that bring people to the island. Otherwise, a visit to the island is a step back in time. Horses and bicycles fill in as the preferred mode of transportation, and it’s not uncommon to see people in period dress, such as women in 18th century clothing as well as soldiers from the same period standing guard at Fort Mackinac.

o matter how many times you’ve visited, it seems the Boyne City and East Jordan areas always have something new to offer. New businesses join seasoned favorites, and no outdoor adventure opportunity is ever the same, even if the location is. It’s this variety — and quick access to Lake Charlevoix’s pristine waters — that call up new and returning visitors to explore the region.
FARMERS MARKET
Boyne City’s farmers market is outdoors 8 a.m.-noon every Wednesday and Saturday, May through October, in Veterans Park. It is a favorite location for shoppers seeking fresh produce, flowers, handmade goods and baked goods for breakfast and dessert. Local is the focus at East Jordan’s farmers market, be it in the produce or wares offered. The market runs 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursdays, May 10 through October, in Sportsman Park on M-32/Bridge Street. Ellsworth’s farmers market is expanding this year with more area vendors offering fresh produce and baked goods. This event runs 5-7 p.m. Tuesdays, June through September, across from the high school at the ball diamond, where C-48 and C-65 meet.

N
orthern Michigan is indeed a summer paradise, what with its abundant lakes, rivers and streams, natural woodlands and trails, campgrounds, gorgeous sunsets and near-perfect weather from May through October — to name just a few of its amenities. At the top of that list for some — no, make that many — is golf, world class golf. Northern Michigan is truly a player’s paradise, and the area caters to all colors in the golf spectrum: The weekend duffer, the beginner to the serious low-handicapper, the serious high-handicapper, the social set, kids, the after-work nine-holer and anyone and everyone else in between. Here’s an unscientific and subjective guide to the “best ...” that Northern Michigan golf offers.
66
SG-2012 0531 AXX.indd 66
MAPLE RIDGE, BRUTUS
Best place to impress: Bay Harbor. Boyne Resorts’ crown jewel, just west of Petoskey off U.S. 31, has established itself as one of the state’s, if not the Midwest’s, finest. You’ll be treated like royalty, and you’ll never forget the view and the feeling of 27 of the best holes you’ll ever play. (231) 439-4028. Best test of courage: Dunmaglas in Charlevoix is not as rugged as it once was, but it still packs plenty of punch and you’d better bring your ‘A’ game. Bigtime trouble also lurks at Crooked Tree near Petoskey, as well as any Boyne course, all of which can be as testy as they are beautiful. Dunmaglas: (231) 547-4653. Crooked Tree: (231) 439-4030. Best place for a family round: Charlevoix Municipal Golf Club, Ye Nyne Olde Holles in Advance, and
Boyne Rapids Adventure Golf in Boyne City. Charlevoix and Ye Nyne are both charming old-style, ninehole courses, and the atmosphere at both is relaxed. Both courses will challenge even the most experienced player, but they won’t punish a beginner. Boyne Rapids is a scaled-down course with holes ranging from 15-100 yards. Another solid play in this category is The Mallard, just outside of East Jordan. Each of the four courses comes down on the affordable side. Charlevoix Municipal Golf Club: (231) 547-3268. Ye Nyne: (231) 582-7609. Boyne Rapids: (231) 582-3505. The Mallard: (231) 5363636. Best place for that oldtime feeling: Harbor Point in Harbor Springs and Belvedere in Charlevoix. Harbor Point, which sits on the bluff overlooking Little THE GUIDE
5/4/12 3:22 PM
Traverse Bay, features majestic trees and loads of charm. Carts are available, but it’s very walkable and players will feel like they’re stepping back to the days of rumble seats. Rerouting and renovations have done nothing but improve the majestic and classic layout. The Belvedere is simply one of the must-plays in Northern Michigan, if not the state. The former longtime home to the Michigan Amateur is, like Harbor Point, a trip back in time, when the biggest names in golf were Jones, Sarazan and Hogan. Belvedere: (231) 547-2611. Harbor Point: (231) 526-2951. Best kept secret: Charlevoix Country Club and Indian River Golf Club. Charlevoix is a well-groomed, relatively young course that packs a punch with water on 11 of its 18 holes. It is included in the “Golf Charlevoix” promotion that includes Belvedere and Dunmaglas, each of which offers its own distinct firstclass feel. Indian River, just east of the Emmet-Cheboygan County line, is another in the well-kept department that is cut through gorgeous tall hardwoods. Indian River: (231) 238-7011. Charlevoix Country Club: (231) 547-9796. Best place not to break the bank: There are several good, solid plays in this category, including The Mallard in East Jordan, Springbrook Hills in Walloon Lake, and Bear River Links in Walloon Lake, Maple Ridge in Brutus and Charlevoix Golf Club. You’ll get a nice, fair golf experience at a relatively reasonable rate, and the food and service is top notch at most of these stops. Springbrook: (231) 535-5155. Bear River Links: (231) 535-2400. Maple Ridge: (231) 5296574. Best newcomer: True North in Harbor Springs. The 7,000-yard plus layout and amenities are first class all the way. Course designer THE GUIDE
SG-2012 0531 AXX.indd 67
Jim Engh brings an impressive resume, one that includes Golf Digest’s 2003 Architect of the Year. True North was rated the state’s No. 4 course allowing public play, and No. 8 overall. (231) 526-3300. Best place to find a “name” course: Boyne Highlands features two that jump immediately to mind, the Donald Ross Memorial and Arthur Hills. The Ross is a compilation of the famed designer’s favorite holes, from Oakland Hills to Pinehurst No. 2. Hills has designed courses all over the country and his layout at the Highlands has become a must-play on any serious golfer’s list. The Heather at the Highlands is as good as it gets in Northern Michigan and has hosted numerous championships in its history, including the 100th Michigan
Amateur in 2011. Boyne: (800) 4626963. Best place to settle a bet: For those among us who may be inclined to play for a little something other than pride when we tee it up with our buddies, Chestnut Valley in Harbor Springs is the perfect venue to settle things up if you’re all-square after 18. Chestnut’s distinctive 19th, a par 3 in the shadow of the club’s beautiful log cabin clubhouse, is just what the doctor ordered. (231) 526-9100. Best views: There are several courses which take full advantage of sweeping views of Little Traverse Bay as well as the beautiful Northern Michigan countryside. Included in this group are Bay Harbor, Crooked Tree, Harbor Point and Little Traverse Bay Golf Club.
BELVEDERE GOLF CLUB, CHARLEVOIX

5/4/12 3:22 PM
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 67
The view from the Little Traverse Bay restaurant and from the Bay Harbor clubhouse are breathtaking, picture postcard stuff. Little Traverse Bay: (231) 526-6200. Best bet that you’ll go back again: Hidden River Golf & Casting Club. Extremely well manicured, the course is built along the meandering Maple River and simply put, it’s exceptional and unforgettable, and became the ninth member of Boyne’s stable of championship layouts this year. Hidden River could be in the best kept secret category, but word has spread that this course, with its gorgeous log-cabin style clubhouse and first-rate restaurant, should not be overlooked when it comes to the best the area has to offer. (231) 5294653. Best bet to join the elite: The Chief in Bellaire opened its doors a decade ago, and it has established itself as a legitimate layout sure to be mentioned in the same breath as the Hidden Rivers, the Little Traverse Bays and the Charlevoix Country Clubs of the Northern Michigan golf world. The unique layout features dramatic elevation changes and wide variety of holes carved through classic hardwoods. The signature finishing hole is a 420-yard par 4. The Chief’s sister course, Hawk’s Eye, is in the same league. Chief: (231) 533-9000. Hawk’s Eye: (231) 533-4295 n
