Little Traverse Wheelway

Reviewed By JillbPA

We parked in Sunset Park in Petoskey and headed to Harbor Springs. In order to avoid the airport and the noise of busy roads, turn down Beach Road and follow this quiet road all the way to the delightful town of Harbor Springs. You will pass lovely homes and waterfront views. There are many eateries to choose from in Harbor Springs before you head back to your starting point.

The Oden State Fish Hatchery

Reviewed By MaribethB24 - Allendale, United States

The day we visited, the Visitor Center wasn't open, but we enjoyed the river cut out and the ponds. We were disappointed that we couldn't feed the fish, as friends had told us how much they enjoyed that. Still a very worthwhile stop!

This is an amazing trail to hike by a river. We took my father- in- law who was also able to walk it. Nice afternoon in nature not too far from downtown petoskey.

Crooked Vine Vineyard & Winery

Reviewed By G9780TAlisag

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The setting, scenery and grounds are all gorgeous. We were immediately welcomed by Geoff and selected a glass of wine to enjoy drinking under the apple tree in Adirondack chairs. They did a very nice job making wines from the various grapes and creating a Napa Valley like building and experience. I highly recommend you include this stop on your wine trail trip, or just to enjoy for a single visit as we did!

Howse's Fudge

Reviewed By steven170 - Greensboro, United States

We love going into Howse's Fudge shop when we visit Harbor Springs each summer while on vacation. Their fudge is excellent and the smells amazing. What I love the most is seeing the whole family at work in the shop. There are kids hard at work from age 5 through teen agers each doing a job that suits their age level. This takes me back to the days of old where many large families worked together in the family business and we are glad that Howse's is so successful. There is always a number of people in the shop purchasing the yummy treats which is a good sign. We tried the chocolate covered blue berry and raspberries this year which were to die for. I highly recommend this guilty pleasure.

Bay View Association

Reviewed By Global531832

Gingerbread cottages with flower-filled window boxes built in the 1880s, and streets shaded by tall leafy trees, take you back to a simpler time. There are concerts and plays to attend in the spacious auditorium in the heart of Bay View. Enjoy hiking trails, tennis courts, swimming and sailing in Little Traverse Bay. Browse in the well-stocked library, pick up your mail at the old fashioned post office, while munching on freshly baked pastries. Evenings often bring awe-inspiring sunsets in shades of gold, orange and crimson, a perfect ending of a peaceful or energetic day in Bay View.

Resort Pike Cidery and Winery

Reviewed By ffoley1048 - North Carolina Coast, United States

The four of us had a pleasant afternoon outside sampling our cider flights. It wasn't busy so we could take our time studying the board and carefully choosing our pours. My favorite was the Apple Blueberry. It was a perfect outing for a fall day. Next time, I will bring some snacks to share.
