We have been vacationing every summer at Crystal Lake for at least 10 years. It is a beautiful place. Frankfort Michigan is a hopping little tourist town during the summer. If you need big shopping, you will be disappointed. This is geared for casual dining, t-shirts, and art galleries/book stores. A lovely sandy beach and Lake Michigan is at the end of Main St. Public access to Crystal Lake is the next town over, Beulah, MI. Best to rent a cottage on Crystal Lake and start your own summer traditions.

Built on the former Ann Arbor Railroad grade, the stretch between Frankfort and Beulah is a very pleasant ride. Starting at Cannon Park in Frankfort and ending in downtown Beulah, you get a small town tour, ride through meadows, forests, riverside, Crystal Lake and into downtown Beulah. Take the time to stop and explore and you will be rewarded with some of the most pleasant sights, smells and sounds of summer possible. The entire ride is only about 20 miles round trip, but it's mostly flat, with only the wind on the return trip to slow you down. A very peaceful, lovely ride.

Four-season family resort has lots to do on and off the slopes.
Reviewed By mwfriederichs - North Webster, United States
70% of terrain open this weekend. Hit the black diamond runs off Buck quad first thing and all the runs on that side were very smooth and fun with a few inches of fresh snow. The runs off the Crystal Clipper were also great, along with the north face area, all groomed soft snow under a few inches of fresh snow. The runs served by the Loki quad were mostly good, though icy/crunchy under the fresh snow, and the black diamonds were pretty well scraped off by early afternoon.

When the grandkids come to visit a must thing to do in do some tubing on the Platte River at its mouth followed with lots of beach time. You can park at the Lake township park or at the NLSP parking area (both require a fee unless you have a pass) and float the last 1/4 miles or so of the river to Lake Michigan.The parking is on Lake Michigan Dr. which is a paved road that ends at the boat launch.The area has great sand beaches that over look the sand dunes in the area along with a couple of island. It also is a must for a great sunset over Lake Michigan.
