Boyne Mountain Resort
One of the Lower Peninsula’s flagship year-round mountain resorts. It offers skiing in winter, and in summer an indoor water park, alpine coasters, and a forest suspension bridge high above the trees.
Boyne Mountain is in Boyne Falls, about 25 km south of Petoskey. It has roughly 60 ski runs and several lifts, making it a popular destination for family skiing in the Midwest. Avalanche Bay, the resort’s indoor water park, is Michigan’s largest and is open year-round. In summer, golf, mountain biking, and SkyBridge Michigan are available. The bridge is said to be one of the longest unsupported pedestrian suspension bridges in the world, spanning two peaks. Ski passes and water park tickets are sold separately, and holiday visits should be booked in advance.
