Biking at Bay Harbor

Bay Harbor, MI

The Inn at Bay Harbor provides easy access to one of the most scenic biking paths along Lake Michigan. A short ride through the The Village at Bay Harbor provides access to the 5.5 mile East Park to West Park Trail. East Park is a modern facility with unlimited views of Little Traverse Bay. West Park offers a more rustic setting, but equally impressive vistas. This section of the Little Traverse Wheelway offers comfortable biking and rewards you with panoramic views of Lake Michigan. It's a photographer's delight so take your camera along with your bottled water. The path continues along Lake Michigan with roadside parks and a comfort stops along the way. Traveling west takes you to the scenic town of Charlevoix (fourteen miles) and a short four mile ride to the east is downtown Petoskey.
