I think this town must have some library lovers, it looks to be a very appreciated and quality kind of place. There are meeting rooms attached, and the library is located just off the river.

It's nice to sit in the comfy chairs and browse the newest books. Before I had a laptop, I would go there to get some work done on a borrowed computer. We borrow movies to watch while we're up there on vacation. Using the website, we can check out the holdings before we get to town. When we're there, we check out the bulletin board in the front hall. It lists a lot of local events. One time we attended a free resume writing seminar offered by Michigan Works! and held at the library. We met a very encouraging person from Michigan Works! who helped us a lot.

Friendly desk person, cozy library. It reminds me of the Walloon Lake one, but maybe a little less fancy. Libraries don't necessarily need to be fancy, it is what is inside that matters.

But still fully glass visible. Sights good from the top, especially for anyone that has never skied a mountain top. Curious the golf cart path winds up and around as well. They do well reminding to keep your ticket stub as it is scanned along the bridge and lift access. Other options are zip lines (8 sections for about $80?) sounding good, and an alpine-like village at the parking level. September was a good time with a little chill. Obviously this changed with the weather, and the very many snow blowers (!) to keep the lower mountain snow covered as needed. Worth the drive and ($25) to come see this.

DON'T MOVE HERE. I loved this town before I lived here for a few years. Now I can't wait to see it…read morein my rear view mirror. Boyne City (BC) cares about only one group of people: tourists. If you're a tourist, BC is a cute little town to visit. They bend over backwards to accommodate tourists and to kiss thier behinds. If you live here year round, be prepared to be treated like a second-class citizen. The town doesn't care about providing essential services to the year-round residents. Things like keeping sidewalks and the main paths along Front Street and Division clear of snow and ice during the winter months would be nice but since there aren't any tourists using the paths, the city doesn't care enough to do anything about them. Use at your own risk. Good luck finding a decent gym or even a passable grocery store. The stores, like the town, only care about tourists so get used to seeing empty store shelves and expired produce when it's not high tourist season. But when it is tourist season, get to the store early before the tourists, like locusts, clear the shelves. Have a favorite restaurant? Well expect it to close for months at a time (or even all winter) when it's not tourist season because hey, who cares about the locals that might want to go to a place now that the hordes are gone and we could actually get in. Need a doctor? Good luck finding any doctor let alone a decent one. This area is a healthcare desert. Be prepared to use urgent care or teledoc because even if you do find a primary care provider, you'll never be able to get an appointment. Need to board your dog? Again, good luck finding a place that will take reservations. I lost count of how many boarding facilities told me they "weren't taking new clients" or just didn't return my calls at all. We haven't been able to take a vacation the entire time we've lived here because we can't find anyone to watch our dogs. I've lived in other (more desirable) tourist areas and none of them had half the problems this area does - things you can only discover by living here full time. So while you may fall in love with the "Hallmark-town" feel of the place, trust me, DON'T move here permanently. You'll regret it.

The people who did visit didn't stay for long so we had the whole beach to ourselves. We had camping chairs in the car so we just put them in the water and sat right in the water and enjoyed the view. They have a gift shop and the only restrooms I noticed were portajohns. We built some rock towers but put the rocks back when we were done because some of the rocks had snail eggs on them.

I took a short walk where my friends who had camped there the previous night as well showed my the historic lighthouse and some message in a bottle painted sign that was very reminiscent of Steve "ESPO" Powers. I set up my trusty old dome tent and camped on the same site as my friends and nobody said peep about doubling up like that. I left out around 10:30 or so and didn't hit any trails as I had packed some snacks for late but no breakfast. Not much in the way of restaurants or groceries around here so I hit the road. Can't speak to the trails or day use part of the park but the campground and adjacent beach was beautiful.
