Clinch Park
A lakefront park right next to downtown on West Grand Traverse Bay, with a sandy beach, splash fountain and dock trail. It is a summer leisure spot for locals.
Clinch Park lies on the lakefront north of Front Street. It has a free sandy beach, a children's splash fountain, and kayak and paddleboard rentals. A small dock beside it offers boat tours and tall-ship sails out onto the bay. The paved TART Trail runs east and west along the shore and can be used for cycling or walking to nearby parks. During the National Cherry Festival in July, fireworks and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels air show take place nearby. Entry is free; downtown parking is metered.
