Nearby you will find great hiking and biking trails that will take you around Lake Charlevoix and down to the beach.  And if you are raising a family the schools in the area are good and the affordability of a town like East Jordan, coupled with the amenities, make this a very attractive place to live in Northern Michigan.

For canoe and kayak enthusiasts, there are few more beautiful spots to paddle than the scenic Jordan River Valley.  The high bluffs that surround the river reach nearly 500 feet in some places and are particularly gorgeous during the fall color season.  Navigating the waters of the Jordan River doesn't require a ton of expertise, but complete beginners may prefer a guided group trip with Jordan Valley outfitters, which offers tours and a full line of kayak, canoe, and tubing rentals.

Residents of East Jordan love to hang out at the local coffee shops and bakeries.  There are also a few art galleries and boutique stores, which are always popular with tourists.  For those with a flair for the outdoors, there is an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails nearby to explore, which leads up to the town's reservoir in the mountains. 

A popular attraction in East Jordan is the Raven Hill Discovery Center.  It was established in 1991, opening in 1992, and is the only place in northern Lower Michigan where children and adults can link science, history & the arts with hands-on activities and explorations both indoors and outdoors.  The Center is located on 157 acres in Charlevoix County adjacent to Little Traverse Conservancy’s Raven Ridge Nature Preserve. 

Raven Hill is a teaching institution whose students are its visitors and its teachers are the collections and displays, just as much as the staff and volunteers.
