Michigan Lake to Lake
Bed and Breakfast Association

Bellaire is in Northwest Michigan, just east of Grand Traverse Bay and Torch Lake, in the Chain Lakes watershed. The area is paradise for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

There is skiing here (down hill and cross country). There is golf here. Indeed, there are more than six golf courses in the area, and many more within a short drive. Miles of trails await hikers and bikers; the Michigan Shore to Shore Trail, which connects Lake Michigan to Lake Huron, passes not far south of Bellaire. When snow covers the ground, strap on skis or snow shoes - just be sure to eat a hearty meal at a bed and breakfast Bellaire Michigan before heading out for the day.

The Chain of Lakes watershed contains fourteen lakes connected by rivers. Explore these waters by kayak, canoe. or speedboat. Rise early to fish in peaceful solitude. Ask Bellaire Michigan bed and breakfast innkeepers to reveal favorite swimming holes (perhaps in the warms waters of Lake Bellaire). When exploring the Chain of Lakes, be sure to visit Torch Lake. It's been called one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and with good reason; the waters of Torch Lake are an amazing blue and turquoise.

Given all that water, it is no suprise that boating, fishing and watersports reign supereme. Talk to innkeepers at Bellaire Michigan bed and breakfasts about charter fishing. Ask about ship wreck cruises in Grand Traverse Bay, and sight seeing cruises. Find the best spots for boat rentals.

When tired from outdoor activities, try a different sport. Northwest Michigan has an excellent wine trail, and wine tasting is popular. The innkeepers at bed and breakfasts Bellaire Michigan may be able to recommend good, local Michigan wines. If beer is preferred, there are several Michigan breweries near Bellaire.
