Glen Lake Narrows is a great place to be. The lakes themselves get shallow with a sandy bottom at the Narrows. If you've been there, you know that boaters will park their boats for hours just across the street from Bear Haven Cottage and swim, wade, float and paddle the afternoon away.
But the location is even better for biking. We love riding to the Heritage Trail and down to Empire or up to Little Traverse Lake. Even better, if you're a more serious biker, is the ride around the lakes and up M22 to Northport. The cottage is superbly located for a variety of rides. As a long-time rider, my husband is convinced there's no better location to begin a ride than at the Narrows.
Easy rides, challenging hill-climbs, trail rides: they're all available from this location. And the cottage is great for after-ride relaxation.
