Goodbye Higgins Lake, So Long Torch Lake: This Underrated Michigan Lake Has Camping, Fishing, And Beaches

Michigan is known as the Great Lakes State, but it's home to thousands of lakes in addition to the four Great Lakes which it borders.

The clear waters, sandy beaches, and recreational opportunities of these lakes draws hordes of visitors each year; but if you're looking for something a little less crowded, 5 miles west of Torch Lake is an underrated destination that also has crystal clear waters and sandy beaches along with excellent fishing and outstanding camping options.

Special East Jordan team meets end against juggernaut Beal City

BEAL CITY — There’s no discrediting the work that’s been done and progress shown by the East Jordan football team. But, there’s another level to reach still. The Red Devils got an up close look at it Friday night in a Division 8 playoff showdown with powerhouse Beal City. An unbeaten Aggies team built a commanding lead on the Red Devils and never looked back to get to 11-0 on the season after a 41-6 win. “It was a game that we kind of knew some things had to go our way,” East Jordan coach Adam Grybauskas said, speaking highly of Beal City. “They came out and it was obviously very physical and it kind of shocked us a little bit. It just ended up what it was.” It’s now four straight seasons of at least 11 wins for Beal City, who earned a 2024 Division 8 state title and reached the semifinals the year prior. That’s the kind of level Grybauskas one day wants to see the Red Devils competing at, but it takes time. “They’re about as established as you can be,” Grybauskas added on the Aggies. “We’re building something and it’s been something we’re saying, we’re still

Traverse City Beer Week features brewery fundraisers and visitor rewards

TRAVERSE CITY — Beer Week activities are underway across Northern Michigan, offering opportunities to try craft beers and support regional businesses through Nov. 14. The event celebrates the individuals and businesses driving the local craft beer industry. Beyond venue discounts, the week features charitable fundraising and incentives for visitors exploring local taprooms and breweries. Matt Cozzens, co-owner of 7 Monks Taproom, has participated in Beer Week for over a decade and noted how the local industry has grown. “It’s changed,” Cozzens said. “There’s been more breweries. When I think Traverse City, more quality breweries, different regions can open up breweries and just say they have a brew. We have some really good brew masters in town. And I think people really realize that.” Cozzens noted that the event encourages community members to explore downtown establishments. “It gives everybody an opportunity to check out a variety of different places downtown,” Cozzens said. “Whether there’s breweries or taprooms like us. You can come down and check out what everybody’s offering. There’s discounts throughout the week.” Festivities include a charity event titled “Breweries versus Frostbite” on Thursday night, featuring seven participating breweries to support Project Feed the Kids.
