Grand Traverse Bay
Grand Traverse is a gigantic stretch of coast lined with orchards and fruit farms, with Traverse City to the south where the Boardman River joins the bay. A number of islands skirt the bay, including a nature reserve known locally as Gull Island, beloved for its abundance of seabirds.
Chateau Grand Traverse
One of Michigan's most venerable wineries, Chateau Grand is surrounded by vineyards where the succulent grapes produce its award-winning wines.
Wuerfel Park
It's going on at Wuerfel Park, a 5000 seat venue that hosts basketball games and is home to the Beach Bums baseball team.
Traverse City State Park
Located right on the bay and surrounded by lofty pines is a special campsite where memories are made around the campfire. Traverse City State Park isn't far from the city, making it a popular community hangout. It's the best place to spend a night under the stars with family or friends.
Thirlby Field
Football has been played here since 1896. Traverse City Trojans, City West and St Francis Gladiators all call this stadium home. With 7000 seats, it has scale and grandeur yet still feels intimate. Kick back and support your new local teams!
