Photography Classic outdoor adventure and vibrant cultural diversions are a four-season event in the Petoskey area. The great lineup of spring fun and recreation may be one of the north's best kept secrets. Our itinerary begins with a toe-tapping tradition, the annual Fiddler's Jamboree, March 4 in East Jordan. Plan to join the many fiddlers and dancers who come from far and wide for this daylong hoedown honoring American heritage. The change of season doesn't mean the good times stop rolling at area resorts.
Spring also beckons outdoor lovers to the area's lush woodlands, now awakening with new life.
Bird and wildlife watching opportunities abound at local nature preserves. During mid-May, the forest floor is blanketed with blossoming trillium and morel mushrooms. Join a guided mushroom hunt, compete in a foraging contest or simply head to the nearest gourmet restaurant and order a delectable morel dish. Photography Anglers, spring means trout season is finally here. The blue-ribbon rivers of the region provide unparalleled fishing opportunities.
