Or take it easy and participate in activities such as community theatre group performances and music reviews with live entertainment.

Looking to spend a day with the kids? Visit the quaint Pond Hill Farm for relaxing hay rides and a petting zoo or, during the fall, take a trip to the farmers markets to pick out your own pumpkins. On rainy days, venture over to the local cinemas and see a movie or go bowling in Petoskey, a neighboring town about 5 miles away. Whether it’s prime season or not, Harbor Springs always has something to offer for the whole family.

Other nearby attractions include the Oden State Fish Hatchery which provides a sandy beach and picnic area, the Tunnel of Trees, nearby Petoskey's Gaslight Shopping District and Charlevoix's Castle Farms, a real medieval castle, and finally the tiny island of Mackinac Island – where motor vehicles are not even permitted and only a ferry will provide you access!
