The town is blessed with the proximity of a chain of lakes: Lake Bellaire, Intermediate Lake, Clam Lake and the longest inland lake of Michigan - Torch Lake. Besides, the adjoining county of Charlevoix has Lake Charlevoix - one of the largest lakes in Michigan. Fish like bass, trout and ciscoes are waiting to be caught in the lake waters and there’s also ice-fishing in winters. The village has two large parks – Craven Park, Richardi Park – where you can enjoy a picnic besides playing tennis and taking a dip in the swimming area. Enjoy all of this at the various condos, cottage houses, log cabins and other Bellaire vacation rentals.
There are also many golf courses including the affordable Bellaire Golf Course for fun even if you’re not a golfing addict and the golf and ski resort of Shanty Creek has chalets to take full advantage of the winter snow. Enjoy the vivid colors of fall, the spectacular snow in winter and spend summer days fishing in the lakes or picnicking in the parks with a holiday in one of the many Bellaire vacation rentals.
