This area boasts the best of swimming, beach walking, dune climbing (there is a substantial dune just across the street that offers spectacular views of the lake and woods), hiking in the woods, mountain biking or road bicycling, antiquing, golfing at any of the numerous well-acclaimed golf courses, shopping, or dining in any of the famous local restaurants. Besides swimming in the lake, kayaking is fun to do and there are places to rent kayaks in Harbor Springs or Petoskey.
