Other Seasons
Elk Rapids and the beautiful Grand Traverse region have 4 magnificent seasons for you to enjoy all year long. The breathtaking colors of fall, the exciting activities (or peaceful solitude) of winter, and the refreshing beauty of spring. Our guests find White Birch Lodge to be conveniently located for weekend getaways. There's no shortage of nearby recreation with our easy access to golf courses, color tours, biking trails, downhill skiing and snowmobile trails.
In the spring and fall White Birch Lodge's dining room and kitchen are perfect for retreats, celebrations, meetings, and banquets.
During the winter season, White Birch Lodge is proud to host a variety of ice boating regattas. Races we've hosted include the GTIYC (Grand Traverse Ice Yacht Club), the IDNIYRA (International DN Ice Yacht Regatta Association), the North American Nationals Iceboat Championship, and the World Championships. White Birch Lodge is the perfect location for ice boating with convenient access to Elk Lake and shoreside accommodations. Ice boaters come from all over the world to race, reunite, and have fun!
