Things to Do in Charlevoix

Charlevoix offers many places to visit and things to do for you to try. There are summer activities such as baseball games at the Carpenter Ball Fields and Fourth of July festivities. Since Charlevoix is on Lake Michigan, waterfront activities such as sunning on beaches, boat rentals, and charter boat tours are available.

It was a very busy and exciting time for Brook Walsh, NorthernMichiganEscapes.com founder, and Associate Broker for BrookWalsh.com. Brook toured a wonderful family around Boyne City and East Jordan as they looked for Lake Charlevoix waterfront property.

Brook explained the lifecycle of ownership based services Northern Michigan Escapes provides for their clients and that gave them the peace of mind to make such a considerable investment.
