Why Visit Elk Rapids?
Easy to find, hard to leave…
If you’re looking for the classic up north experience, come to Elk Rapids. We’ve got it all: 2000 feet of sugar sand public beaches. Gorgeous sunsets over East Grand Traverse Bay. Loon watching in a kayak. Beach volleyball by day, bonfires by night. Scenic trails for hiking and biking. The best harbor in northern Michigan. And all within village limits of the most charming town you can imagine.
Discover our unique shops and specialty stores, art galleries, and antique stores. Take a slow stroll through the Art Park on the banks of the bay. For your palate’s pleasure we have some of the best eateries around. And how about a locally crafted cider, beer, or cocktail?
