Gaylord

All Outdoors

Gaylord is Michigan’s ultimate winter paradise! Frequent flurries bring enough powder to snowmobile, snowshoe, ice fish, downhill and cross country ski. You can even treat yourself to something extra special with a guided float down the Sturgeon River.

Discover Gaylord

Gaylord not only embraces winter, we OWN it!  When you’re lucky enough to sit smack dab in the middle of lower Michigan’s snowbelt, you know flurries mean only one thing – endless opportunities for frosty fun.  We know we’re lucky here, but more than that, we’re welcoming – to you, yours, and roughly 148 inches of annual snow that make Gaylord a winter-lover’s dream come true.  Don’t just walk in our winter wonderland. Ski it, float it, fish it, sled it and sail downhill on it.
