Worth pairing with

- Avalanche Preserve, 11.9 miles straight line. The 462-stair climb to the overlook above Boyne City and the south arm of Lake Charlevoix. The best earned view in the region.
- Red Mesa Grill, 12.0 miles straight line. Latin American on Water Street in Boyne City, and the easiest real dinner if your loop finishes on the south arm of Lake Charlevoix.
