Snowmobile/ATV'S
Visitors to the Upper Michigan love to indulge in our bounty of snow. Our winters seem long to those who live here so what better way to shorten the cold weather season than Sledding/Trail Riding across the northern part of Michigan. From our lodge you are a short 10 miles to the trail head that will take you to the main artery and anywhere in the U.P. Our property has a circle drive, with plenty of parking for your truck/trailer.
Nordic Skiing/SnowshoeOur Lodge is truly located in what is considered the snow belt. We annually get over double the snowfall of most southern upper peninsula areas. Located directly across the highway from our lodge is dozens of miles of well groomed Nordic ski and skate trails, as well as hundreds of acres of federal land for back country skiing or snowshoeing. See link below.
HIawatha National ForestOur lodge is located directly adjacent to hundreds of acres of federal land, so if you are looking to do some fishing, hunting, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, wild life watching, photography, ATVing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or snowmobiling, we have the perfect location to begin your adventure!
Fishing/Water sportsOur Lodge is less than a mile from the White Fish River, and 10 minutes to the Lake Michigan Shore line. The north end of the bay from Gladstone to Rapid River holds tons of fish year round. Some of the most popular areas are Center Reef at the north end, First, Second and Third Reef out from Kipling, and the deep water along the east bank from the Vagabond Resort south to Hunter’s Point, these are all great fish-holding locations throughout the year. Early in the season, trolling or drifting night crawler harnesses is probably the most preferred and effective method. Walleyes Choice harnesses are made locally and are a favorite among Bay de Noc anglers.
The Whitefish River is cold, swift and deep in the early spring, challenging canoeists and kayakers and providing good steelhead fishing. During the summer, much of the river becomes too shallow for canoeing, but offers fishing for brook trout in the upper reaches and a variety of warm-water species downstream from the confluence of the East and West Branches. The river is located on the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. |
