The Old Mission Peninsula draws visitors to Old Mission State Park in Old Mission for its trails and its views, and those visitors reliably want a great burger on the other side of the walk. Traverse City adds its own energy through Greilickville Harbor Park, a waterfront spot where community events call for food that's easy, good, and ready fast. The county's township parks — including Green Lake Township Memorial Park — round out the picture, serving the residents who make this place more than a seasonal destination.
