bulletBig Canoe's Jeep Trail is a Big Canoe favorite for locals and tourists.  It's a great place explore Big Canoe's wilderness.  You'll appreciate your cozy bed even more when you tour the log cabin along the trail.  Walk through the streams or over the foot bridges as the stream winds back and forth throughout the trail.  You can even drive the family along the trail in your 4-wheel drive SUV (admit it - you've probably never taken it off-road before).  A must-see are the Lower Falls (our favorite) and Upper Falls.  The trail is about 1.5 miles from the back of our home on the lake at 387 Laurel Ridge to the Lower Falls and about another .25 miles to the Upper Falls.

bulletChildren of all ages will enjoy the ball field located below the Lake Petit Dam.  A walking track surrounds a large ball field, complete with a backstop.  The newest addition to the ball field is a very large kid-friendly playground.  The tennis center is a short walk from the ball field, along with Wolfscratch Village (General Store location), and the Fitness and Swim Centers.
