Local Interests

Fishing
The Kaleva area boasts some of the best river and lake fishing of northern Michigan.  Many lakes, rivers, and streams like the Manistee and Pine bring in anglers from all over the country.   Trout and salmon along with many other species are prevelent and Lake Michigan charters are only a few miles away.

Don't forget that ice fishing is available with easy access on many nearby lakes throughout the winter and there are several tackle shops in the area.

Hunting
Superior hunting on state and national forest land makes for a fun outing for you and your crew.  Manistee National Forest and Pere Marquette State Forest both bring hunters to the area for bear, deer, and small game.  Both the bow and rifle seasons are very successful in these forests.  Kaleva is right in the middle of it all.

Skiing
Downhill and cross country skiing is available at local ski resorts, Crystal Mountain and Caberfae Peaks.  You can snowshoe, hike, and bike major trails all within 15 minutes of the Kaleva. 

Snowmobile Trails
The Manistee trail system runs right through the middle of Kaleva, where you can grab breakfast or lunch at the local restaurants as you head out for a day of beautiful winter scenes on freshly groomed trails.  Soft morning lake effect snows make our trails some of the best in Michigan.

Camping
Kaleva Roadside Park and Healy Lake Campground are beautiful, especially in the fall during the color change. There are several country roads to explore which makes the experience fun for the entire family. 

The third weekend in July there is a Kaleva Days Celebration and the Roadside Park is right in the middle of the festivities which include classic car, tractor and snomobile shows, softball tournement, arts and craft show, and a fireworks display and parade.  You won't want to miss this.
