Above the Ordinary

CREATE YOUR ESCAPE

Nestled in a quaint resort town, Odawa Casino is close to a variety of recreational pursuits for every season of the year. Discover everything you can do in Petoskey and learn more about the area.

FASCINATING HISTORY & NATURAL BEAUTY

Petoskey is more than a charming Northern Michigan lakeside resort community; it’s also the name of a great Odawa Indian Chief and, translated into English, means “rays of the rising sun.” Vacationers come from far and wide to enjoy Petoskey’s famous “Million Dollar Sunsets” over Little Traverse Bay while combing the shores for Petoskey Stones: Michigan’s official state stone that’s actually fossilized coral that predates the dinosaurs!

OUTDOOR FUN

There’s a little-known gem located right in the heart of Petoskey: the 1.5-mile Bear River Valley Recreation Area offers opportunities for biking, hiking, walking, picnicking and even kayaking in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan’s only whitewater park. Also nearby are pristine golf courses, watersports and, in the wintertime, skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling—with miles of groomed snowmobile trails that lead right to the casino.

EXTRAORDINARY SIGHTSEEING

Visitors love strolling through Petoskey’s historic residential neighborhoods and browsing boutiques in its historic Gaslight District. The best views of Little Traverse Bay are found along the Little Traverse Wheelway, a 26-mile route that connects Charlevoix, Bay Harbor, Petoskey and Harbor Springs.
