Once a thriving logging community, Boyne Falls is a postcard-perfect village nestled along Lake Charlevoix in the wooded splendor of northern Michigan. It's also home to Michigan's largest indoor waterpark, two championship golf courses, and also happens to be the Midwest's largest ski area at Boyne Mountain, with direct access to 14 ski lifts and 60 downhill ski runs for all skill levels. Even if you're not a skier, you've got to try the snowtubing here—so much fun! Of course, this all-year destination offers plenty of warm-weather activities too, from golf and hiking to biking, boating and fishing in and around nearby beaches, lakes, rivers and parks. Stop by Petoskey State Park for a visit and be sure to pick up a fossilized Petoskey stone, Michigan's state stone.
Relax with an afternoon of shopping at local boutiques, then order a gourmet meal or have a drink at City Park Grill where Ernest Hemingway was once a regular. Or spend a day exploring beautiful nearby Mackinac Island by horse and carriage. Whatever season you travel, you're in for an unforgettable vacation.
