Things to do & area attractions

Discover Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Belvedere Grand is ideally situated for exploring some of the Upper Peninsula’s most memorable natural and cultural attractions.

Every season has its own beauty.
Summer brings kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, and long evenings beside the lake.

Autumn transforms the surrounding forest into a spectacular display of color and offers excellent opportunities for scenic drives, hiking, and wildlife viewing.

Winter brings a completely different experience, with snow-covered forests, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and dog sledding.

And in the quieter seasons, The Belvedere Grand offers exactly what many travelers are looking for: time to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Upper Peninsula.

Come for the lake, stay for the history, and leave with the feeling that you have discovered somewhere truly special.
