Visiting Traverse City on the south shore of Grand Traverse Bay places you within easy access of the stunning Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and all it has to offer. Here you will find a 65-mile curve of beautiful lake shore dotted with fresh-water beaches for swimming, fishing or body-boarding and a vast network of scenic hiking trails. Cyclists can explore the length of the paved Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail. Art lovers can spend hours admiring the many galleries and studios in Traverse City and other near-by towns while history lovers can explore lighthouses, historic missions and grand mansions. For something a little different you can try a Tall Ship excursion.
