Torch Lake and Lake Bellaire provide easy access to water sports in a 'Caribbean-like' setting. Boat rentals are available at local marinas; multiple DNR launches provide convenient access to Michigan's best Waterways. Many Walleye, Whitefish and Trout stories have boasted that the fishing can be 'excellent' in both the nearby cold-water lakes and streams. The Dockside Bar & Grill, at Clam River & Torch Lake, has a wonderful setting to observe people and their diverse watercrafts passing by the outdoor patio. They have an extensive menu for both food and drink.
Brief History of Shanty Creek----
When Roy Deskin thought about the high, tree-green hills and curving valleys surrounding Bellaire in Michigan's Antrim County, he envisioned a challenging ski and golf resort, satisfying to all visitors. New Ownership in 1997 allowed Shanty Creek to embark on the Cedar River Village which included the expansion of downhill runs to 49 and adding the Cedar River G.C. by Weiskopf.
