The Peak Pool & Fitness Center is now open! We’ve just completed a top-to-bottom remodel of the entire facility, including an 1,800 square feet addition, and the result is an uplifting environment that will significantly enhance the health and fitness opportunities at Crystal Mountain.
The workout area will be outfitted with brand-new Precor cardio and strength training equipment, ideal for enhancing the training experience of casual and avid fitness enthusiasts alike. And if you choose, tune your headphones into one of our four 42” LCD flat-panel televisions.
The pool and its surroundings have been completely re-surfaced, and the hot tub has been relocated to the front of the pool area. The locker rooms have also had a facelift, with new lockers and lively new colors.
The Peak Fitness Center will now offer personal training services that are customized for your personal fitness goals, whether it’s a one-time refresher or an ongoing program. We’ll also offer specialized training for golfers, skiers & snowboarders, and other sports-specific programs, as well as a diverse lineup of group classes throughout the week.

Everybody wants to climb the Sleeping Bear Dunes, so come to the Dune Climb located north of Empire on M-109. You will find pure, wind-blown sand to climb, then run or roll down the dunes to the picnic area for a break and some refreshments and then head up the dune again.
Climbing the dunes is great exercise and there is a beautiful view of Glen Lake from the top. With the parking lot and picnic area at the base of the dune, you can stop climbing when you get tired and let gravity bring you back down.
This is a great playground for kids of all ages. The memories created here draw us to bring our children and grandchildren here to share the fun and create their own memories.
Those who have a lot of energy can take a hike on the Dunes Trail to Lake Michigan. This is the most strenuous trail in the park. While only 3.5 miles round trip, it is all sand and you will find climbing the dunes all along the trail to be a challenge. This is especially true on hot, sunny days. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and take lots of water. The hike is worth the effort, because you will see a variety of wildflowers and the sight of Lake Michigan is outstanding. Don’t forget, you have to walk back.
There is also a handicap-accessible interpretive trail at the Dune Climb which identifies the local wildlife and shows how the dune is moving

Silver Leaf Vineyard & Winery was founded in 2005 by Patti and Mark Carlson and opened on September 6th, 2008. Located just north and west of Suttons Bay, the 30 acre estate is nestled among cherry and apple orchards where the vineyard is planted in rich loamy soil with a gentle slope on high ground. The tasting room opens to a deck through double French doors where there are tree-top level views overlooking scenic Leelanau County. Our goal is to produce exceptional wines through small batch fermentation and attention to detail with a passion for rustic elegance and to share our experience with our friends and guests.
