THINGS TO DO

Paradise Lake is perfectly located for seeing the best of the "Tip of the Mitt". Mackinaw City is just 7 minutes away, and a ferry can quickly get you to Mackinac Island.
Petoskey is a 25 minute drive, with Cheboygan and Indian River just a bit further.
Traverse City to the south, or the Upper Peninsula to the north, make great day trips.

Below are just a few of the many things to do and sites to see.
Your cabin handbook will include a more complete list.
