Food scene

Rocks Landing is a great place for a special night out. Located directly on Crystal Lake, you have great views and food. You'll definitely want reservations. There are three different seating areas, inside, on the porch,( I ususally book on the porch because if the weather is bad your reservation won't be cancelled.) or outside which is great too, weather permitting.

Located in downtown Beulah, a good place to pick up bagels or a sandwich to take on a picnic. Sandwiches are large so big enough to share. There are benches and tables at Crystal Lake which is right around the corner if you want to enjoy your food there.

Sightseeing

SBD is about 30 minutes from my house. A pretty drive along M22. Lot's of hiking, biking and swimming options. Pierce Stocking Drive is a great way to see some beautiful views in your car and their are also places to get out to walk and take in the views. There is a visitors center in Empire and I have a lot of info at the house. Peterson Beach is about 10 minutes from my house and is part of SBD, it's a gorgeous beach with not a lot of people. The photo on my guide book is from Peterson Beach.

Attractions

Old fashion fun, five minutes from the house. There is a playground and mini golf, nothing fancy. They also sell snacks. There are two movies and it doesn't get dark until about 9:30 so expect a late night or early morning if you do both movies. It is a popular attraction so you'll want to get there earlier than 9:00.
