Food Scene

It's the closest Bar/Restaurant. Good Varied Menu. Outside Deck in Summer. Some of my Favorite Things: Mike Sicilian Pizza, Char-Broiled Wings, Greek Salad. It 's where everyone in the Neighborhood hangs out.

This is My Favorite Restaurant ! Worth the drive, past orchards, vineyards right up the middle of the Old Mission Peninsula- at one point you can see both the East and West Bays. You may think you have gone too far.. keep going ! THE BEST IN THE WORLD: Blue Cheese Dressing and Fudge Sauce. Everything in between is Awesome too ! Get the Walleye !

It's a Float down the lazy river to the Beach on Lake Michigan. Part Township Park, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Beach, River, PIcnic... Bring your own tubes, canoes, kayaks or floaties or rent when you get there. Bring a Picnic and Cooler to have when you get to the end. Just make sure you come to a complete stop at every stop sign in the parking lot, I got a ticket for running a stop sign there.
