Welcome to Elk Rapids!
Embraced by East Grand Traverse Bay to the west, Elk Lake to the east and Bass Lake to the north, the community of Elk Rapids is one of the most charming of all the harbor towns in Northwest Lower Michigan. Comprised of one square mile, everything is within walking distance: public beaches, unique dining, quaint shops and a modern marina for boaters navigating the waters of Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay.
The Elk Rapids area is a year-round playground for all types of outdoor activities. Golfing, fishing, boating, hunting, biking, hiking, skiing, exploring - if you are interested in finding your own part of paradise, we invite you to visit us! Read on for a small sampling of some of the year round family friendly events in the Elk Rapids area.
