Jewelry Designs

Becky Thatcher has been capturing the essence of Northern Michigan in gold and silver jewelry designs for over 30 years.

To preserve the beauty of a Lake Michigan summer sunset or a snow swept beach, Becky travels the U.S. and Asia to personally select stones that treasure that moment.

Her palette includes gemstones such as boulder opal, fancy sapphire and tanzanite, along with beach stones like Petoskey, Leland Blue and Michigan fossils.

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.

Rental Services:

• Canoes
• Tubes
• Kayaks
• Rafts
• Boats
• And more!

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

Season:

May 1st – Mid-October 7 days a week
