Other Activities: Scenic Drives in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park; Kayak & Canoeing the Crystal River.
Golf: Over 27 nearby golf courses: 'The Dunes' is 5 miles away and 'Le Bear' is a Jack Nickolas Pro Course in Traverse City. As deep as 165 feet in places, Glen Lake is about 4 miles in diameter and fed from artesian flows under the lake, filtered through the depths of sand laid down by the great ice sheath eons ago. The clarity and purity of the water and the colors shown by the layered depths sparkle on a sunny day and shine in the light of the full moon. Little Glen Lake is contiguous with the larger Big Glen Lake. It is much shallower at 15 feet deep, about 7 to 10 degrees warmer than Big Glen and about 3 miles long by 1 mile wide. Both lakes share the same sandy bottom, pure filtered Artesian springs, clear water and feed the Crystal River.
Ski: Crystal Mountain Skiing is 30 minuets away. Take an easy Crystal River canoe trip of about 6 miles to Lake Michigan. Fishing varies by the season - Lake trout and king salmon, large & smallmouth bass, perch, the sporty bluegills, sunfish and brown trout, with occasional northern pike. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is across Day Forest Road from the cottages. Miles of hiking trails and scenic lookouts can be accessed from trail heads on Day Forest Road near the cottages. Look for 6 X 6 Trail Head markers set in the ground. The Dunes National Park was established by an Act of Congress in 1970 to preserve a unique landscape of rolling Drumlins, hills of glacial moraine left by the Ice Sheet, towering sand dunes, 33 crystalline lakes, 57 miles of streams, sheer sand slopes, virgin stands of giant trees and much varied wildlife. The Dunes Park has 70,000 + acres, including the Manitou Islands and Glen Haven's historical Coast Guard Station.
