Gaylord has beautiful parks in the downtown and surrounding area.

Whether you’re looking for a big-woods adventure or a wee walk in the park, Gaylord’s got it. The city sits smack dab in the center of Northern Michigan, making it an easy access point to a host of hike-able (and bike-able) miles. The exploring doesn’t end when the region’s legendary snow starts falling either. Simply step into some snowshoes, strap on some skis or hop on a snowmobile – our great white woods await.

Be sure and visit the areas newest park:
