Petoskey is an ideal place for lovers of the outdoors, as confirmed by former Men's Journal editors Sarah Tuff and Greg Melville, who have featured Petoskey in their recently released book, "101 Best Outdoor Towns."

Having experienced our "million dollar" sunsets, the authors share that "The Caribbean has nothing over the view from town as the sun extinguishes into Lake Michigan behind the creamsicle horizon." Searching for a romantic getaway? Couple the beautiful sunsets with "the back-in-time feel of the artsy downtown Gaslight District, the long beach walks and the views of Little Traverse Bay from the top of sandy Old Baldy, and you've got one of the most romantic spots in the Midwest."

Outdoor options featured in the book include the Little Traverse Wheelway bicycle path, which runs from Harbor Springs to Charlevoix, the North Country Scenic Trail and the Petoskey State Park hiking trails, fishing, swimming and paddling on area lakes, rivers and streams, and both downhill and x-country skiing at area resorts and trails.  Congratulations to Petoskey on being recognized as one of the "101 Best Outdoor Towns."  Come to Petoskey to see and enjoy all the area has to offer for yourself!
