Housed in a 125 year old insane asylum, Gallery Fifty’s home at the Commons features an eclectic array of artwork with a fun or funky flavor. This location also hosts a fine art exhibition series in northern Michigan’s largest fine art venue, The Mercato.

James Blanchard’s “Fordite” or “Detroit Agate” jewelry is available at both locations. Created from layers of automotive paint and collected from the spray booths in the late 1970s, these one-of-a-kind jewelry designs are exclusive to Gallery Fifty.

Riverside Canoe Trips

Experience the Platte River in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park.

Lower Platte:

Friendly river with a gentle current – ideal for the whole family! Let the kids paddle a kayak on their own or float in their own tubes. Riverside will furnish the rope and you tow the tube behind your canoe. The trip ends at Lake Michigan with a beautiful sugar sand beach! This is our most popular “family” trip.

Upper Platte:

Our “fast water” trip – it’s a natural for good times. Clean, spring fed waters and fast current with an average depth of 2-3 feet. Often narrow and full of quick turns and low branches, this trip is a challenge. It’s an “adult” trip.

• Kayaks

• Boats
• And more!

Including a complete country general store! VISA & MasterCard accepted.

Season:
