Hiking on Brevort Lake south shore. Take kids to Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie. Take kids downhill skiing at Boyne Highlands. Take kids snowtubing at Silver Mountain on south side of Brevort Lake.

Golf: Golf: The Mackinac Straits area features beautiful shorelines, rustic woods and stunning views, where long, warm summer days continue into late evening. Golfing is a favorite seasonal pastime for visitors and residents alike. Long summer hours of daylight allow golfers to play the links late into the evening while enjoying the twilight of the Straits. The closest course for your enjoyment is the St. Ignace Golf and Country Club. Spectacular vistas of the Mackinac Bridge make this public course a 'must play'. Full pro shop with rentals and carts. Another option is The Mackinaw Club, which is a professionally designed 18 hole golf course. Featuring 24 hour tee time reservations, a driving range and open to the public the golf course has just undergone a facelift with brand new carts, flags, markers and an emphasis on turf management. The Mackinaw Club course features scenic views sprawling over 310 acres. This Jerry Matthews designed course is ideally located within minutes of downtown Mackinaw's unique shopping, dining and entertainment district. In Mackinaw City you can plan a great day of golfing and an evening of dining, or your morning practicing on the driving range followed by a scenic afternoon trip to historic Mackinac Island.
