Whether it's the beauty of our glacier-sculpted landscape with its crystal-clear lakes, golden beaches and steep green ridges...the friendliness and warmth of our towns with their hidden byways, cozy restaurants, and quaint shops...or the matchless opportunities for fun and relaxation in the Great Outdoors...you're going to discover why so many people hear the words "Traverse City" and immediately add: "Oh yes, take me there." Ours is a year-round natural playground with world-class golf, great cross-country skiing, and plenty of water for sailing, boating, swimming and canoing. It's a region of fiercely protected natural wonders where hikers and cyclists can enjoy miles of unspoiled forest trails, and where anglers can experience some of the nation's finest trout streams. Traverse City is a great place for dining, with a growing cadre of talented and original chefs and some of the best wines made anywhere. There's food for the soul here too, thanks to the hundreds of artists, craftsmen and musicians who've made their home here. And it's the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll, a romantic getaway, or a long, relaxing look at some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
As you learn more about the area and our health care system, we hope you’ll agree this is a special place to live, work and play.
