Outdoor Activities

Sun, shade, and exploration for days…

Wave hello to water adventures on the Cass River as you kayak, boat, or just be…and breathe in the fresh breeze while you bike, climb, or outdoor dine around Michigan’s Little Bavaria.

There really is nothing quite like Frankenmuth outdoors…flower-lined streets, the iconic Cass River, parks all over the place, Bavarian embellishments, and of course, a fresh breeze mixed with the sweet smells of specialty treats. Enjoy it all in the peaceful solitude of yourself, or alongside the ones you love most.

Up for an adventure? Start at Frankenmuth Aerial Park, a ropes course tucked up in the trees, and the perfect spot to try ziplining in Michigan. Then, drop in on the Cass with Frankenmuth Kayak Adventures and paddle past signature sights like the reflected European skyline, Holz Brücke Covered Bridge, or Frankenmuth River Place Shops’ waterfall cascade

Or is relaxation calling your name? Tour Frankenmuth on a dreamy cruise on the Bavarian Belle Riverboat, or make it an onboard wine and chocolate sampling with the Frankenmuth FunShips. Then, take a serene stroll through one of the many parks that offer vast views by the riverside and downtown atmospheres.

Carriage rides, trolley tours, golf courses, fishing fun, farm festivities, and so much more…in Frankenmuth, the options are endless.
