Live - Recreation


Gaylord and Otsego County are famous for the endless outdoor recreation opportunities provided by their pristine natural surroundings. Regardless of the season, people here literally play where they work. The area is dotted with crystal clear inland lakes and streams, offering great fresh-water boating, fishing, kayaking and canoeing. Thousands of acres of state forest land offer hiking, mountain biking, birding and hunting. Gaylord’s Golf Mecca includes 24 championship courses within minutes of downtown. In winter, snowmobilers enjoy hundreds of miles of groomed trails, and the area features two downhill ski resorts and miles of groomed cross-country ski trails. The community-owned Gaylord Sportsplex features year-round recreation with an indoor pool, ice rink, fitness center and track.
