  • Great Activities on Your Best Day Ever!

  • Get Out On The Water!

    Want to make your Best Day Ever even better? Get out on the water!
    One of the best ways to explore the Petoskey shoreline area is on Little Traverse Bay. Kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, boating, and sailing are all enjoyable and relaxing ways to connect yourself with nature while taking in the environment surrounding Petoskey. On a calm day from Little Traverse Bay, you can spot the Petoskey State Park, Harbor Point, Harbor Springs, and the land areas to the north, west, and south of Petoskey. No matter where you are in Harbor Springs or Petoskey, you are in the Little Traverse Bay Watershed! 
    To learn more about the Little Traverse Bay Watershed, visit www.watershedcouncil.org
