 Manistee offers "up North" charm and beautiful beaches without the large crowds found elsewhere in northern Michigan. There's a lot to do... |
Great hiking trails, bike trails, canoeing, snowmobiling and more at the nearby Manistee National Forest. |
River Street, Manistee's main street, offers lots of small shops and a nice department store. Discover the antique shops, nautical shop, Christmas shop and the great little candle place. Stop in to Goody's Juice & Java for a cappacino or smoothie. |

 |
If you hear the toot of a lake freighter take advantage of this treat and watch a 600-700 foot freighter negotiate the turns and bridges of the narrow Manistee River. |
|
The Water Bug offers narrated tours of Manistee from the river. Trips start at the Riverwalk downtown at 1:00 and 3:00 pm or catch a sunset cruise. |
 |
|
Manistee's Riverwalk runs along the south side of the Manistee River from the Lake Michigan beach and park up through the downtown area, about a mile and a half altogether. Catch the free weekly concerts at the gazebo on the north side of the river. |
and great day trips |
