This bike trail is over 50 miles long and you have your own private entrance. There are two beaches, a fish hatchery, and many shops and restaurants just a bike ride away! If you're visiting in the winter the trail is fantastic for cross country skiing or if you have a snow mobile, you have your own private entrance to the trails.
You also have two great marinas less than a mile away with boat, paddle board, and kayak rentals.
The property has its own fun little pond full of frogs and small fish and is truly a Northern Michigan treasure.
