Maps & Directions

The Petoskey Area refers to a 30-mile corridor located in northern Michigan along U.S. 131 near Little Traverse Bay. It stretches from Boyne Falls and Boyne City north to Petoskey and Harbor Springs.

U.S. 131 Detour Information

For those of you driving north via U.S. 131, the bridge over the Manistee River, north of Cadillac, is being repaired and is closed for the winter of 2009/2010. The Petoskey Area Visitors Bureau recommends the detour route which takes you through Lake City. The detour has you getting off U.S. 131 onto M-55, just south of Cadillac, heading east to M-66 and taking that north (through Lake City) to Kalkaska where you again intersect U.S. 131 to continue heading north. The overall mileage is similar, but since you will be on two-lane highway, please allow for some extra travel time. To view the alternate route in detail visit MDOT.
