Fall is the perfect time of year to get outdoors with your family. The cooler temperature makes activities like biking and boating more enjoyable for everyone. From bike rentals to hiking, there are many outdoor activities you can try with your family to make the most of the beautiful weather.

How to Have Family Fun This Fall

1. Fishing

This autumn, rent a boat and get the kids acquainted with fishing. In northern Michigan’s Crystal Lake, fishers can try their hand at reeling in a variety of species, including lake, brown, and rainbow trout, as well as yellow perch, bass, and Coho salmon.

2. Bike Rentals

When the cooler fall air rolls in, families can enjoy riding bikes without getting too hot. If you want to really immerse yourself in nature, consider bike rentals near the Betsie Valley Trail in Benzie County. Families with older children can traverse the entire 22-mile trail, or those with little ones can bike just a few miles in.

3. Hiking

4. Kayaking

Mild fall weather is the perfect time to give kayaking a try. Consider renting single or double kayaks and paddling around the lake for a leisurely day of outdoor fun. As an added bonus, this activity also offers a good upper body and cardiovascular workout.   

5. Relaxing in a Pontoon

Pontoon boats are known for their cruising comforts. With the availability to seat up to 10 people comfortably, pontoon rentals are great for taking in lake views while the fall foliage nears its peak. Relax and enjoy a packed lunch, or throw a line in to see what you can catch.
