Fun is always in season. Golf in the summer, skiing in the winter with great restaurants and fun activities all year long are what brings people back year after year to Northern Michigan. In addition to all that Shanty Creek Resort offers the surrounding area is full of opportunities to experience the great outdoors: Boating and kayaking trips along the Chain of Lakes can make for a week-long adventure through the 78-mile system or day-trips through the 1,000 acre Grass River Natural Area near Bellaire. World class blue ribbon trout rivers are only a short drive. In addition to boating and biking, fair weather beckons with opportunities to swim, fish, golf, hike and horseback riding. Fall puts on a glorious color show and is a good time for driving tours, and visits to the local wineries. When the snow arrives, it's time for skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.
