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.
