This is a trip down the lazy Lower Platte River, it empties out into Lake Michigan through some small dunes onto a beautiful beach with great views of the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Manitou Islands. It is a very popular paddle so expect a lot of traffic in the summer months

This is the iconic place that everyone must visit at least once. It is associated with an ancient Indian Myth about the Sleeping Bear who looks out to her cubs (north and south Manitou Islands).

Enjoy outdoor picnic style dining on the lawn @ St. Ambrose Cellars, while wine tasting in a friendly family environment. Music every evening during summer hours. St. Ambrose Cellars was born when a mistake was made with a lemon cream honey, Sharon told her husband Kirk to make lemonaide out of lemons ie.. John Lemon Mead with it. We make many wonderful carbonated beer style meads which are not syrupy sweet but light and refreshing. I recommend enjoying a flight with our wonderful brick fired pizzas.
