The Great Outdoors in Arcadia
While a small town, Arcadia has a lot to offer the adventurous outdoors-man. Great fishing and boating opportunities are available. The Arcadia Marsh Nature Preserve, right on M-22, is a hidden gem that is relatively unknown. It’s a beautiful walk, and you are sure to see several species of waterfowl. The Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course offers some of the best golf in the country with challenging greens and legendary sand traps, as well as a superb fine dining kitchen.

A nationally recognized first-class golf course, the Bluffs also offers fine dining and bagpiper music with a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan.
