The Grand Traverse Region

Located on the northwest corner of the lower peninsula of Michigan, the Grand Traverse region offers a wealth of recreational opportunities throughout our four seasons. Access to Lake MIchigan is gained either through East and West Traverse Bays or through a short drive west or north of Traverse City. Be it boating, sailing, bicycling, hiking, or skiing, the Grand Traverse region has it. The arts play a strong role in the region's culture, with an abundance of local talent displaying their works. Discover why Traverse City has been declared one of America's "most livable" cities, and the surrounding region one of the best places to visit and live.
