We may be the premier Up North destination for travelers of all kinds, but those who gravitate toward nature and the outdoors will especially find their home here. Our backyard is a world to explore, with countless activities to cherish the open air of all four seasons by land or water.
The Crooked River aptly ebbs and flows directly behind our property, allowing you to kayak along the calm waters either north to Burt Lake or south to Crooked Lake, each providing gorgeous natural views. (Kayaks available to our guests.)
Unwind and reset by our fish pond, and be sure to say hello to all the fine fellows we have swimming about in the water!
Making a winter trip to Crooked River Lodge? Snowmobiling is one of the most popular things to do in Alanson come winter, with miles of trails to shred along.
The expansive Inland Waterway connects multiple larger bodies of water together, such as Crooked, Burt, Douglas, Pickerel, and Mullet Lakes.
Our nature trails double as perfect routes to hike or bike, either through shaded woods, lush fields, or with snowshoes in the winter (available to our lodging guests).
Nub’s Nob Ski Resort sits just minutes from us. Prefer cross-country? Glide through miles of scenic trails just a short drive away. If a slower pace is more your style, borrow a pair of our complimentary snowshoes and explore the snow-covered beauty of our property.
