From Fife Lake, Traverse City is a nice place to spend an afternoon or evening. Some popular attractions include the new ‘Beach Bums’ minor-league baseball team, Grand Traverse Mall, downtown shopping, many great restaurants, two movie cinemas, and more. Traverse City is also home of the National Cherry Festival for a week in July. MACKINAC ISLAND Mackinac Island is just about a two hour drive north, making it a great place for a day trip from Fife Lake.  Mackinac Island is located between Michigan’s upper and lower peninsula.  The island does not have any cars and you must take a 15 minute ferry ride to reach the island.  The best way to get around the island is by renting or bringing your own bikes, but there are also many horses and horse carriages.  There is a beautiful bike trail which surrounds the island and many more through the hilly interior.  Mackinac Island is also know for its small shops, historic fort, fudge, ice-cream, and breathtaking views of the Straits of Mackinac. SLEEPING BEAR DUNES Approximately 40 miles Northwest of Fife Lake, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore offers spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Whether hiking or driving, you are sure to enjoy the dunes. Pack a picnic lunch and spend an afternoon overlooking the water and taking in Northern Michigan’s beauty! LEELANAU PENINSULA The Leelanau Peninsula is home to many small towns, wineries, and shops. However, even if shopping is not your thing, you will certainly enjoy the scenic drive from Fife Lake! OLD MISSION PENINSULA The Old Mission Peninsula is the smaller of the two peninsulas and home to many wineries and endless orchards. The drive out the peninsula affords tremendous views of Grand Traverse Bay, especially around sunset. ALL OVER: GOLF! Northern Michigan is home to many gorgeous golf courses. Fife Lake is centrally located for teeing off on some of the best in the area!
