Cycling by Grand Traverse Bay
Enjoy our Great Outdoors!
Surrounded by fresh green forests and shiny blue waters, Traverse City is all about the outdoors. Hike on a long lonely sand beach or on a quiet trail in the woods. Pedal an all-terrain bike along a scenic piney trail. Climb a windswept dune and gaze out over the endless blue of Lake Michigan. In winter, grab cross-country skiis or snowshoes and move silently through a white wilderness, or strap on downhill skiis and slide down well-groomed alpine runs.
