Built around a sheltered harbor on Little Traverse Bay, Petoskey grew into a northern Michigan resort city. Set on the Lake Michigan shore, it has long drawn summer residents and travelers to the bay’s calm waters. Downtown’s Gaslight District brings together independent shops and restaurants in historic commercial buildings. Along local beaches, collectors search for Petoskey stones, fossilized colonial coral and Michigan’s official state stone. The city also has a literary link to Ernest Hemingway, who spent youthful summers in the area and used northern Michigan settings in his Nick Adams stories.
