Lake Arrowhead

Lake Arrowhead delivers Northern Michigan's postcard-perfect escape with crystal-clear waters and towering pines. Golf enthusiasts flock to championship courses carved through dense forests at Treetops Resort. Beyond the greens, the pristine lake beckons with swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities that make one forget their inbox exists. Winter transforms the landscape into a wonderland for cross-country skiing and cozy cabin nights. Vacation homes and resort lodging offer the perfect home base, ranging from lakefront cabins to golf-view suites. Most dining centers around Treetops Resort with seasonal American fare that hits the spot after a day outdoors.
