This lovely resort town on Little Traverse Bay has been drawing visitors since the 19th century. Shoppers enjoy the dozens of quaint shops and specialty stores in the Historic Gaslight District. Rockhounds flock to the lakeshore in search of Petoskey stones, the remains of coral that grew in the shallow seas 350 million years ago. In 1965, Petoskey stones became the state stone of Michigan.
You can take scenic drives along the Lake Michigan shore to the north and south or around Walloon Lake. The Little Traverse Historical Museum offers displays on the Odawa people, pioneer life, the area's historic lumber and resort industries, and several well-known authors with local connections.
Petoskey is justly famous for its amazing sunsets. As the highlands across Little Traverse Bay darken to blue and then black, the waters of the bay sparkle and shimmer with brilliant gold. What an excellent way to end an unforgettable trip.
