If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Located 17 miles away, Bellaire is worth jumping in the car for. Torch Lake, Schuss Mountain and Short’s Brewing Company alone justify the drive out here. Locals are also likely to point you toward Petoskey, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Odawa Casino. (But we’re also huge fans of Petoskey State Park and Little Traverse Bay Golf Course.)
