Gaylord

All Outdoors

Gaylord is known for “All Outdoors” activities found in the breathtaking beauty of Northern Lower Michigan.  With lakes and rivers perfect for fishing, paddling and relaxing, we have a special place for you to make a splash!  Winding pathways will beckon you on foot or bicycle to explore our parks and preserves, filled with lush forests and abundant wildlife, including one of the largest free-roaming elk herds east of the Mississippi. 

Enjoy all nature has to offer, only minutes away from our recently remodeled and thriving downtown district with unique stores, trendy new eateries and our trademark Swiss-themed architecture.  With warm summer breezes, late pastel sunsets and infinite ways to enjoy your days, a trip to the Gaylord area will leave you wanting to come back again and again.
