With lakes and rivers surrounded by an array of crimson and gold foliage, fall is the perfect time for fishing, canoeing, kayaking and rafting in the Gaylord area.  Diverse trails will beckon you on foot or bicycle to explore our parks and preserves, filled with  lush forests and abundant wildlife. And speaking of wildlife, autumn is peak elk viewing season in our area! Enjoy all nature has to offer, only minutes away from our friendly, thriving downtown district with unique stores, trendy new eateries and our trademark Swiss-themed architecture.
