Small Town Stay-cation Guide
Thompsonville
Thompsonville is located in the heart of Benzie County.
Explore the Betsie Valley Trail that extends 22 miles from Elberta, through Frankfort and Beulah, to Thompsonville.
Crystal Mountain offers downhill and Nordic skiing during the winter, and the county includes over 100 miles of snowmobile trails.
The moment the snow melts, golf courses are open and ready for business.
And all year round, you can enjoy fishing, birding, and glimpsing native flora and fauna on a walk in the woods.
