North-west Michigan is a delight at any time of year, but perhaps at its most picturesque during the honey-colored fall season. With a vast array of winter sports on offer within easy reach of the town, from skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing to dog sledding and ice fishing, and summer pastimes like golf, boating, fishing and bird watching, you will never be short of things to see and do when you venture out in Benzie County.

There are ten top Michigan golf courses within 20 miles of Beulah, including the superb new Arcadia Bluffs public course on the shores of Lake Michigan, ranked as the best in the state and the second best new course in the Midwest region*, and two layouts at Crystal Mountain.

On a vacation to northwest Michigan you can take in majestic lakeside views in a hot air balloon, tour vineyards, bike through lush forests, observe wildlife, enjoy marshmallow roasts or simply admire the golden sunsets from great vantage points like Point Betsie Lighthouse.

Yet Beulah and Benzie County are not just destinations for the outdoor enthusiast – there are a number of cultural attractions of note. The Interlochen Arts Center and Benzie Historical Museum are well worth a visit, with nearby Traverse City also a great place for family-orientated attractions such as the Annual Cherry Festival, still going strong after 80 years.

With a vibrant arts scene, including first-rate theatre and music on offer from the Benzie Area Symphony Orchestra and the Community Chorus, galleries that showcase local artists, events such as the Shakespeare Summer Theatre, the Interlochen Summer Concert series, glittering Fourth of July parades, and weekly concerts in the Park at Crystal Lake during July and August, visitors to Benzie County can also be royally entertained.
