Take advantage of the many area day trips surrounding the greater Harbor Springs area.

Since the turn of the last century, visitors from all over the globe have come to our beautiful area throughout every season.  Southerners head our way in the summer months to escape the heat and midwesterners throughout the Great Lakes visit each winter for skiing, snowshoeing and other fun snowsport activities.  The area surrounding Little Traverse Bay is known for four season hospitality, family friendly dining, and unique, uncomparable shopping.

We encourage everyone visiting to take advantage of the wonderful resources surrounding our area.  Locally we offer arts, recreation and an abundance of natural beauty.  Venture beyond our immedaite areas for a day filled with exploration.  Using Harbor Springs as your home base, you can travel south as far as beautiful Traverse City and north through the state's Upper Peninsula all within a day's time.  No matter what you choose for your vacation activities, we're sure you'll enjoy yourself while visiting.

We hope you will enjoy the article below, taken from the July 2, 1965 issue of "Time" magazine.  The article notes Harbor Springs as one of the nation's top resort areas. 

We still agree.
