Don’t Miss These Exciting Things to Do in Houghton Lake, MI


Located on the shores of Michigan’s largest inland lake, the Beachfront Hotel offers an array of activities and things to do throughout the year.

Summer Activities

During the summer, the warm waters of Houghton Lake are perfect for swimming, boating, water skiing and fishing. Guests also enjoy barbecues and bonfires on the beach, beach volleyball and lounging on the shoreline.

You’ll also enjoy some of the finest canoeing, kayaking and tubing in the world. Nestled in gently rolling hills and valleys, Roscommon County’s gently flowing rivers will treat you to a special experience. Float the Muskegon and the South Branch of the world famous AuSable River as you drift past cool shaded forests.

Winter Activities

During the winter, the snow-draped landscape truly exhilarates with ice fishing, snowmobiling right outside your door, cross country skiing, downhill skiing and more.

Get swept up in the fun at Tip Up Town USA, Michigan’s largest winter festival.

​Here you can take a polar bear dip in the lake, plunge down the ice slide, enjoy festival themed rides and visit the petting zoo.
