Frankfort Michigan

Always in Season

A year-round destination on scenic M-22 and the shores of Lake Michigan.

Downtown Frankfort, located in beautiful Benzie County, serves as the gateway to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Soak in the energy of Main Street, explore historic landmarks like the Point Betsie Lighthouse and the Garden Theater, and chase the sunsets on Frankfort Beach.

We invite you to shop, dine, explore, and experience our unique corner of Northern Michigan.

What’s Happening in Frankfort

Beyond Downtown

We invite you to step outside the downtown district and experience the magic of Northern Michigan’s coastline.

From the panoramic views at the Arcadia Overlook to the towering bluffs of the Sleeping Bear Dunes—famously named the “Most Beautiful Place in America”—to miles of expansive trails and pristine nature preserves, you’ll find that Frankfort is the ultimate basecamp for adventure.

Prefer a slower pace? Discover the local wine trail, explore the neighboring coastal towns, or tee off at one of our world-class golf courses.

No matter how you choose to spend your day, the adventure is just beginning when you step beyond our downtown streets.
