Things To Do

The Grayling area is a sanctuary for those who seek the great outdoors. When you’re here, you enter “River Time Zone”– where time has no meaning.

Year round, Grayling offers casual adventures for outdoor enthusiasts. We have biking, hiking, golfing, disc golfing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing on the AuSable and Manistee Rivers as well as a fish hatchery, endangered Kirtland’s Warbler tours, geocaching and historical sites such as Hartwick Pines State Park, Crawford County Historical Museum, Wellington Farm Park, USA, Lovell’s Historical Society, W.J. Beal Tree Planting and the Grayling Fish Hatchery.

In the winter, sledding, snowboarding, and downhill skiing as well as numerous groomed or ungroomed trails for cross country skiing, skijoring, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are all available. 70% of the land in Crawford County is owned by either the State or Federal government, allowing public access to literally thousands of acres.

Whether it’s a family vacation, a weekend getaway, or just the desire for the total outdoor experience, when you arrive in Grayling, you have access to all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

Grayling Visitor’s Bureau has a wealth of information on things to do in and around Grayling. We encourage you to take a look at their website for further information.

Bird Watching

Birding is excellent throughout the county because of the heavy and varied forest growth. The Grayling Visitor’s Bureau’s Bird Watching page shows known locations where specific species, including the Kirtland’s Warbler, have been spotted. The birds listed are just a sample of what can be seen; many more species live in those areas.


Boating and Swimming

There are public access locations throughout Crawford County for swimming and boating.  Lake Margrethe has a public beach at the public campground off McIntyre’s Landing Road, M-72 West.  Located at the southern end of the county, Higgins Lake offers two state parks (North Higgins Lake and South Higgins Lake) with large beaches and wonderful swimming facilities.  Jones Lake, Kneff Lake and Shupac Lake also have small public beaches for swimming.  There are boat launches located at Lake Margrethe and Higgins Lake for those with larger boats or for jet-skiis.

The world famous AuSable and Manistee Rivers have no rocks or rapids, a slow current and crystal clear water. Canoeing or kayaking through beautiful forests of pine, birch and cedar on rivers designed for beginners, couples, families or large groups is the ideal way to enjoy a warm summer day or to view the magnificent fall colors.

Skijoring

If you love skijoring, there are many miles of ungroomed areas near Grayling to enjoy. If you don’t know what skijoring is, or are new to the sport, read below or click on “Skijoring” above.

Skijoring, a growing winter sport, is a cross between dog sledding and cross country skiing. It originates in Scandinavia, and allows a dog and owner to exercise together while enjoying the outdoors. A dog pulls a skier, who skis or brakes as they travel across natural snow. Skijoring requires only basic cross country ski gear and a harness for your dog, a skijoring belt for your waist, and a towline that connects you to your dog.


Snowmobiling

Thousands of acres of state land and miles of groomed trails make for loads of winter fun in the Grayling area. With easy access from I-75, U.S.127 and M-72, and lodging facilities that offer direct trail access or other special amenities, Grayling has become a favorite with snowmobilers. Hundreds of miles of groomed trails in the county are among the finest in the state.

Trail conditions are available by calling the Grayling Visitors Bureau at 1-800-937-8837, or by entering their web site under Updates – snowmobiling.
