Great Rides in Benzie County

0

I still love the Benzie area to snowmobile. They did a great job with the trails this year. Riding to Money (Plat River Inn) in Honor is also great for Breakfast or Lunch. Ride in and warm up at the fire place. The Money brothers always make you feel at home. Riding in the Benzie area is great because the trails are not so crowded.
