Breweries
A great brewery with live music every night in the summer (Tuesday-Saturday). Order food from the Stone Oven next door and enjoy the entertainment. Follow up with soft serve from the Corner Cone. Great music and beer on a summer evening. What could be better?

Grocery
"If they don't have it, you don't need it" is the motto for the LA Grocery. Grab your food items or pick out a drink from the great selection of craft beer in the back coolers. A complete hardware store as well. Has saved us many a trip into TC.

We float down this river a couple of times a year. Amazing float through the dunes and out to Lake Michigan. You can rent tubes or canoes/kayaks from Riverside Canoe Trips. Pack a cooler to enjoy some beverages as you take in the scenery. Reach out to me for some recommendations if you want to try it without renting the equipment.

Biking
This rail trail has a beautiful nine mile route from Frankfort to Beulah. A more rustic continuation of the trail also goes south to Thompsonville. We love biking this trail especially with Five Shores Brewery at one end and Storm Cloud Brewery at the other end.

A great rail trail that goes from Suttons Bay through Traverse City to Acme. Around 27 miles long we typically break it in half and either go to Suttons Bay or to Acme from Traverse City. Park at the south end of the Boardman lake and take the Boardman trail to connect to the Tart for an extra couple of miles. Hop Lot Brewery in Suttons Bay is only a 1/4 mile off the trail. Stone Hound Brewery in Acme is even closer at the eastern end of the trail. Hit the Filling Station right off the trail in downtown TC for a beer and our favorite local Pizza and Salad.
