Things To Do
Petoskey State Park
This beach is one of the cleanest in the world. No sharks, no salt, no sharp shells to gouge your feet. Crystal clear waters and a beach line that changes every spring due to ice and wave action over the winter. If you are concerned about finding Petoskey stones, go into town and get them at Grandpa Shorter's General Store! Wind and wave action covers and uncovers these fossils on the shoreline. They can be there one day and gone the next! Fun wave action on windy days.
Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery
Located on 80 beautiful acres in Petoskey, Michigan, Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery offers a little slice of heaven for its visitors. Maple Moon is a wonderful addition to the Petoskey area. Family owned, the maple trees and facility are open for tours and the Petersen's are delightful and welcoming. They sell their products at an on-location store, featuring their own 100% pure maple syrup. They have numerous grades of syrup, all made on the premises, as well as jam, salsa, home-made maple granola and other specialties. Their latest addition is nothing shy of amazing. They have become America's First and ONLY maple winery, with eleven vintages available and two hard ciders. It doesn't get any better than this. The Peterson's do it all themselves. It is a family labor of love. It's wonderful that they have settled in Petoskey, so we can all fall in love with Maple Moon. Tour the sugary and sample delectable treats such as maple syrup, maple candy,, maple root beer and maple wine.

Petoskey Brewing
The building known as the “Old Brewery” was first completed in 1898 and was used to brew Petoskey Sparkle beer until 1915. It wasn’t until 2012, under the new ownership of and complete renovation by Patrick Dowd and Lou Gostinger, that beer once again flowed within the walls of the “Old Brewery”.
Lavender Hill Farm
Lavender Hill Farm offers visitors the magical experience of being surrounded by the regal beauty and scents of purple and green waves of lavender. It is no wonder families visit us year after year.
