I think I saw him on a 31' seaRay cruiser Saturday Night in the Parade. WTF. Seems like a guy like that would be on Nortech or somthing.

A lot of people rent their places for weekends and whatnot. There really aren't any hotels or anything around there. Renting a house might be your best bet.

As others have said your best bet is to stay in Elk Rapids or find a house to rent right in Torch.

And yes, definitely worth the trip!!!

Do you have the yellow HTM with flames? I saw it sitting in Whitewater Park when we were putting in Saturday morning.

Great weekend, put on 120 miles in two days. Blew a power steering belt on the way back two miles from the dock on Sunday afternoon but other than that a great weekend!

Here is the link for the Torch River Resort. It is located at the south end of Torch Lake. Although not right on the water the Torch River Marina is right accross the street and they have slip packages with room rentals.

Good Luck

If you're going to be there long enough to do Torch and still have time, put your boat in on West Grand Traverse Bay and head out to Power Island--great sandy mooring spots on the southeastern end of the island and deep water abounds on the West Bay. Go to www.oldmission.com and check out all that is available on old mission peninsula. We were just there last weekend at my parents place and did both Torch and the west bay--great times on both always. Clinch park marina is a good launch--right in TC. Your best best for Torch will be to launch out of Whitewater Twp. launch on Elk lake--close to TC and the casino. Wish we were going back this weekend--Michigan boating at it's best! Enjoy and let us know how it was.

if your boat is a twin and a butt dragger like mine be carful of the w.w. launch and the torch river. keep the drives WAY up and at least follow someone who looks like they know the way.
