Summer time at Hanmer's Riverside Resort

Things begin to heat up with the coming of

summer, especially the area lakes and

rivers. At Hanmer’s Riverside Resort, the

Betsie River is right outside your front

door. At Hanmer’s, you can chose to find a

fishing spot under a cool shade tree, canoe

and kayak the Betsie or take a slow leisure

tube ride down the river. And no matter the

weather conditions, our indoor pool is open

for your enjoyment.

Benzie County offers plenty of local events, festivals,

weekly concerts and arts and crafts shows. There

is the July fireworks in Beulah and Frankfort and the

annual week-long Cherry Festival in Traverse City that begins on July 5th.
You can take a trip up scenic highway M-22 to the Sleeping Bear Dunes or
book a tee-time at one of the areas championship quality golf courses. If

you

are

feeling daring, you

can take a ride to

“Gravity

Hill”,

Putney Road

Blaine Township where

objects

appear

to roll uphill

in excess of fifteen

(15)

miles

per hour,

defying gravity. Whether this spot is

a magnetic freak

of nature or an optical illusion is uncertain. At the top

of the hill rests the

remains of a ghost town, where the church is over

100 years old. It is told

that cars placed in neutral will roll up hill to the

parking lot of the old church. This area which seems to defy gravity is

just miles from the forty-fifth (45th) parallel, the halfway distance from

the equator and the North Pole. No matter what you chose, at the end

of the day you can relax around your own campfire, tell stories and plan

for the next day.

To help plan your summer vacation, we have listed area brochures and activities.
