The Tart Trail –  

The 10.5 mile long Traverse Area Recreation Trail (TART) is a paved urban transportation and recreation corridor with an eastern end point at M-72/Bates Rd in Acme Township and a western endpoint at Carter Rd in Traverse City, where it links with the Leelanau Trail.

Brewery 

The Hop Lot – Voted the #2 Beer Grden in the United States 

Hop Lot was founded in 2015 with a desire to create a family-friendly brewery that boasted a tap list full of traditional ales, plus a beer garden embracing our Northern Michigan outdoor surroundings. Our unique outdoor beer garden features a host of campfires, picnic tables, outdoor games, and more. Take a stroll through the beer garden or sip one of our favorite brews in the tap room while enjoying our middle-of-the-woods ambiance. 

Visiting Traverse City for the weekend? You can find us right on M22 in Suttons Bay, MI. We’re right in the midst of popular biking and hiking trails like the TART Trail. We brew all styles of beer for a wide range of palates, and we’ve always got something fresh on tap.
