Great beer and cool atmosphere, established in building that was formerly, in the distant past, a... can you guess... a brewery! Great location, across from Petoskey State Park with a small (Mud) Lake out back, and at the intersection of paved bike trails that extend to downtown Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Alanson, and beyond.

Parks & Nature
Bay View Association is a PUD (Planned Unit Development) established nearly a century ago, I think lol. Planning included preservation of a large chunk of property called Bay View Woods. This large wooded area includes a variety of natural features ranging from wetlands to high bluffs. A great place to explore and get some exercise. Finding access points to the trail systems can be a bit tricky, but we'll help on that front.
