West of Grand Traverse, all the way to Lake Michigan, lies
Benzie County. Originally the hub of the lumbering industry in
northwestern Michigan, it is now known primarily for its beauty
and recreational opportunities.

Lakes and rivers abound in Benzie County and draw millions of
visitors each year to partake in activities such as fishing,
sailing, hiking, biking, golfing, horseback riding, and gliding.

Benzie County receives approximately 150" of snow each year
making it a fabulous Winter Wonderland not to miss! With awesome
downhill skiing, X-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing,
and even a terrific ice skating rink!
