Review:
Gaylord is a delightful Alpine-style village in Otsego County, known for its abundant snowfall throughout the winter months. Visitors flock to the city during the winter for prime skiing experiences at its many resorts, including popular cross-country skiing areas like Hartwick Pines State Park and Mason Tract Pathway. Downhill skiing and snowboarding opportunities also abound, along with opportunities for snowmobile riding along the lovely North Central State Trail, constructed along a former portion of the Michigan Central Railroad route. During the summer months, visitors can enjoy excellent opportunities for golfing, water skiing, wakeboarding, and jet skiing at Otsego Lake. Families can have fun at the Otsego County Sportsplex or the Gaylord Bowling Center, while couples can peruse the breweries and taprooms of the Gaylord Beer Trail, including Big Buck Brewery and Snowbelt Brewing Company.
