Charlevoix is an excellent area for year round family fun. From the many lakes, beaches and parks for Summer fun, the most beautiful area in the State for colorful Fall leaves, to the many surrounding Winter Ski resorts. Also, loads of local cross country skiing and snowmobiling trails. And don't forget the many special weeks around Charlevoix, such as the Venetian Festival around the third week of July, the AppleFest around the middle of October, and many other shows, festivals, and fairs. Charlevoix is the perfect hopping off place for exploring northern Michigan. Almost everything in northern Michigan, including Traverse City, Petoskey, Gaylord, Mackinac Island and the Mackinac Bridge, Leelanau Penisula and the Leelanau Sands Casino, Sleeping Bear Dunes, wineries, and many of the Midwest's best downhill ski resorts, including Boyne Highland's & Boyne Mountain (don't forget Boyne Mountain's fabulous new Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark) and Shanty Creek are within an easy hour drive.
