Outdoor Recreation

Wide open spaces on land and water are what make Traverse City an outdoor lover's destination. Finding the perfect path or water-based adventure around the region is as fun to plan as it is to experience!

For land explorers choose from our state parks around the area where you can see lighthouses and hike on trails. For water lovers there's always Lake Michigan as well as plenty of inland lakes and rivers for a variety of fishing options.
