Top 10 Things to do in Elk Rapids
 

Whether it’s a workout-worthy hike over rugged terrain or a day spent not moving a muscle on a sandy beach, Antrim County has recreation covered.  All visitors need to do is define it.

In Elk Rapids, an update to the village recreation plan is bringing extensive improvements to the already enviable Upper and Lower Harbors.  Recreational boaters and community visitors in coming years will find additional dockage, renovated restrooms and an extended boardwalk and finger pier area- all a short walk from area beaches, downtown shops and dining spots.
