Had a lunch break there on our ride to Traverse city from Boyne. I swear my wife got lost in there.
enjoyed our walk through this beautiful sculpture park on the beach
Loved the small hike along the water looking at the art sculptures.
This is an excellent experience to visiting a beach and walking in the woods near Grand Traverse Bay, MI!!! Most notable is the sculpture art arrayed through the woods and out onto the beach.
This place is a hidden gem! The sculpture park deserves a trip designated just to that. Then of course the beach, with a playground right on the sand on the Bay of Lake Michigan. Drink a beer while pushing your kids on the swings all while watching a Pure Michigan sunset. There is a pavilion with tons of picnic tables and a public restroom. Definitely cross this one off the bucket list!
