A trip to Petoskey is also a trip to its surrounding communities like Harbor Springs and Boyne Falls. Both of these are home to the best skiing and riding you will find in Northern Michigan. Not looking to ski or snowboard? Or traveling with those who do but you’re looking for something else to do? We’ve got fun things to do and ways to enjoy the area without hitting the slopes.

With two days you could focus and explore one of our area communities but with FOUR… you could explore several. Yes, we are home to some of the best skiing and riding in northern Michigan but there really is so much more. There are the wineries in the region, cultural experiences (art, museums, performances), cross-country ski, snowshoe, sledding, ice skating, and more.

Seeing everything a place has to offer in one day can be tough! That’s why PetoskeyArea.com is here to help you see those can’t-miss stops and give you a few food recommendations. Take a look at the following things we have highlighted if you just have a day in Petoskey. We have narrowed it down to our top 10 within Petoskey – that includes looking for the elusive Petoskey Stone along the shores of Lake Michigan.

So you’ve never been to the Petoskey area in the springtime… we’re here to help! PetoskeyArea.com is here to show you those can’t-miss stops, things to do, and give you a few food recommendations. Spring is one of the best times to look for Petoskey Stones in our area after the snow has melted to see what has been stirred up onto the shorelines of Lake Michigan. Don’t stop there! Bike, hike, forage, and more as you discover Petoskey Area Spring.
