The Riverbend Lodge provides direct access to the Betsie River, which is part of Michigan's Natural River Program, which protects the natural habitat and leaves the river largely untouched from human interference and is ideal for kayaking. It is home to lots of wildlife, including deer, eagles, and the occasional bear. The salmon fishing in the fall is unparalleled. In the summer months, the river is slow, shallow, and wide for kids to float in tubes, fish, or catch crayfish. This secluded country setting provides expansive views of the starlit night sky, and offers a glimpse of paradise.
