---- About the Lakefront----

Spider Lake is a 459 Acre All Sports Lake with big sections for water-skiing and tubing, small coves for fishing, and a couple islands and sandbars. 'Fast boating' is allowed only between 11:00 am - 7: 30 pm, so the morning and evening are quiet. Many of the coves are no-wake zones all day and great for fishing any time. With lots of bays and coves, you can find somewhere new to explore every day!

Spider Lake is a haven for hikers and those who enjoy scenic landscapes as well with plenty of parks and hiking trails nearby.

---- About the Area----

Available nearby are multiple golf courses, horseback riding, parks, and trails! A short 15 minute drive north-west will find you in downtown Traverse City, with many options for dining, shopping, and downtown beaches.
Local Wineries and Breweries are open year-round if you are looking to grab a beer, a bottle of wine, or try a flight! Peegeo’s Pizza is just 8 minutes away with a wide variety menu including beer, chicken wings, pizza, calzones, and more!

We are here to make your stay feel like home - feel free to contact us with any questions, and we hope you enjoy your time in beautiful Northern Michigan!
