When is the best time to go to Lake Arrowhead?

The best time to go to Lake Arrowhead is during the summer months, from June to August, or in the autumn, from September to October. Summer offers the warmest weather, ideal for enjoying the lake itself. You'll find plenty of opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing. The days are long, allowing for extended outdoor activities and evenings spent by the water. This period is particularly good for families looking for a classic lakeside holiday with lots of sunshine. For those who appreciate cooler temperatures and stunning natural beauty, autumn is a fantastic choice. The surrounding forests change to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, making for picturesque drives and walks.

North Branch Outing Club

31 km from Lake Arrowhead

"This is a historic place visited by the likes of Henry Ford, filled with fishing memorabilia on the walls, that is a great choice for a group (or family) who wish to test their skills on the Au Sable or other local trout streams Terry and the other staff were wonderful. The suite I stayed in, one of two with their own bath rooms, was commodious. It's well located on the north branch of the Au Sable, and only about 25 minutes from Grayling. "

Tru By Hilton Gaylord, MI

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

The Lakeview Hotel, Shanty Creek Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I have a couple of contructive comments. Our stay was wonderful. When it rained, it looked like some of the gutters were clogged so that on one or two of the rooms' awnings over the little decks were flowing like waterfalls! Not ours. Another thing was a constant "beep.beep.beep" from what sounded like some kind of alarm (not super loud) but you could hear it 24 hrs each day . Just concerned it might have been a moisture detection alarm like we have in our basement...BUT...I have very keen hearing, so ither guests may not have notice. My wife and i enjoyed the Happy Hour and the dinner were very tastey with helpful abd friendly waitstaff . The check-in staff was excepcional and recommended that we purchase sunscreen nearby at Dollar General because of the extremely high temps. Thanks....we will definitely return and recommend Lakeview Hotel...unbelievable view of Lake Bellaire. Incredible sunset views! Thank you! Leo Lemery Room 319 June 29-July 1, 2026..."

Boyne Mountain Resort

8/10 Good

"The desk and restaurant staff employees were excellent.: kind , helpful, knowledgeable. It was frustrating for our grandchildren since the water park closed at 6 as did the chair lift to the top of the Mt. We were at baseball tournaments all day. The above closures were disappointing for them. We had a suite that was perfect for our needs."
