Local knowledge, regional reach

Traverse City—and the places your Up North trip takes you.

Guests stay and ride across the region. We connect each community to the adventure that actually fits it, without pretending every activity starts in every town.

Your booking confirmation is the source of truth for the exact check-in, pickup, delivery, transfer, or trailhead instructions for your selected activity.

Before you arrive

Less paperwork at the start. More adventure after it.

Complete the steps in your confirmation before arrival so your crew can move through check-in quickly. Every participant must complete the required waiver—not only the person who booked.

Review the current cancellation policy
  • Read your confirmation

    Use its activity-specific meeting point and arrival time.

  • Complete every waiver

    Each driver and participant finishes all required sections.

  • Bring driver documents

    Operators bring the license and payment card required by the booking.

  • Dress for the experience

    Closed-toe shoes and weather-ready layers are the safe choice.

Availability is seasonal and weather-dependent. Rental agreements, safety rules, protection terms, deposits, and activity-specific charges are reviewed during booking and check-in.

Choose ATV and UTV fall rides, a Polaris Slingshot scenic drive, or e-bikes at Grand Traverse Resort or the Leelanau Trail. Availability is seasonal and peak leaf color varies. Compare fall rides and starting areas.

Where do I check in?

Follow the activity-specific directions in your booking confirmation. Resort-area trail guests begin inside Grand Traverse Resort; watercraft and delivery meeting points vary.

Do ATV and UTV rentals require a truck or trailer?

No. For the resort-area flow, our team handles the transfer between check-in and the approved trailhead. Your confirmation explains exactly where to begin.

What ATV and UTV seating options can I rent?

Our ATV and UTV range includes single-seat ATVs for one rider and Polaris side-by-sides for two, four, or five people including the driver. Live booking confirms the exact model and availability for your date.

Which lakes do you deliver boats to?

We deliver boats to every lake in our Traverse City-area service region, including Torch Lake, Crystal Lake, Lake Leelanau, and Long Lake. Confirm launch access, delivery timing, and any delivery charge when booking.

Where can I start an e-bike ride?

Choose Grand Traverse Resort with Memories near Acme and Williamsburg, or the Leelanau Trail with our partner Riding Electric. Each area has its own booking and meeting details. Compare both e-bike areas before reserving.

Does everyone in my group need a waiver?

Yes. Every participant must complete their own required waiver sections before departure. The person who booked cannot complete waivers for the entire group.

Are helmets included?

Helmet fitting and safety orientation are included where required for the activity, including off-road, snowmobile, and e-bike experiences. Check the individual booking for every included item.

When does snowmobile season begin?

We plan for winter operations beginning in December, but opening dates and daily rides depend on safe snow and trail conditions. Live availability shows what is currently bookable.

Why aren’t prices listed here?

Fleet, season, duration, and location can change the price. The booking page is the source for current rates, available time slots, and the exact terms for your selected experience.
