ST. IGNACE AND ITS WINTER WONDERLAND!
Winter is an adventure. One day it snows furiously and blankets the trees and land with white. The next day brings sunshine and a glorious translucent blue sky that fills you with the desire to be outdoors.
Can you hear the swish of your cross country or downhill skis as they cut through the crisp snow? Or feel the warmth of the sunshine on your face as you speed through the woods on your snowmobile?
In the evening enjoy cozy dining, the camaraderie of a northwoods gathering place and accommodations suited to your needs.
Ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country, downhill skiing and tubing--winter is an adventure in the St. Ignace area.
