Visited with a group of friends and took a long bike ride along both sides of Old Mission Peninsula. The rolling terrain, vineyards and orchards, and beautiful shorelines make this a great location to visit, especially for a cyclist. Took the ride in the evening and timed it perfectly, to watch the sunset on the west side of the bay.

I live on the West Bay, so kind of partial! Beautiful place, beautiful lake, what more could you want? To live here full time....yep....priceless. Come and enjoy, lots to do on the water, on the shore, or in Traverse City. Fantastic place, highly recommend ;)

Beautiful, large bay, great for boating. Traverse City is very charming with lots of shops, breweries, and walking/biking trails.
