We’d be happy to recommend some of our favorite places, provide menus, or help you plan your day trip.

Local beaches are abundant within a short drive of The Canfield House. Here are a few of the local favorites:

Capt. Langland Park “The Turnaround,” - located at the end of Portage Point Dr., is a local favorite to watch the sunset or enjoy Lake Michigan.
Manistee 5th Ave. Beach - Considered to be one of Manistee’s most beautiful beaches, this great spot is ideal for those looking to walk the attractive North Pier.
