The Grayling Area

Things to do this winter in the Grayling, Michigan area.

The Grayling area is a beautiful destination located in the “up north” area of Michigan. It is approximately three-hours from the metro Detroit, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, and Flint areas. The region is well known for its scenic beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. Whether you plan on coming for a weekend, a week, or an extended stay, let us introduce you to what we have to offer during the winter.

Cross Country Skiing: The Grayling area offers miles of exceptionally well-groomed cross country ski trails for the novice to the expert, and ungroomed, pristine trails for snowshoeing or back-country skiing.

Ice Fishing: There are numerous lakes where the fish bite all year round as is evident by the ice shanties that pop up on the ice covered lakes each winter.

Snowmobiling: With thousands of acres of State and Federal land made for winter fun, there is no place like Crawford County when it comes to snowmobiling. One of the largest groomed trail systems in the state links the Grayling area with Lovells, Lewiston, Frederic and Gaylord.

Where to Eat and Drink: An assortment of restaurants and brew pubs offer casual dining and relaxed atmospheres.

Lodging: There are over a dozen motels, lodges, and cabins to choose from in the Grayling area. Most are locally owned and operated.
