Snowmobile history in the town center, a photo stop at Garfield Township Marina, and a designated route connection give Naubinway a range of things to discover. Offerings range from a nonprofit museum to a marker for travelers on different routes, as well as wildlife viewing nearby. Those planning a stay can choose between culture, routes, and an outing in the surrounding area.

Snowmobile History in the Town Center

The Top of the Lake Snowmobile Museum is located on the north side of US 2 in downtown Naubinway. It is a nonprofit museum dedicated to antique, vintage, and classic snowmobiles, with more than 185 exhibits. Snowmobile history is therefore a clear cultural focus of the town, with a specific connection to these three categories.

The museum currently hosts four major snowmobile events each year. The events are suitable for the whole family and add recurring dates to its thematic focus. Event dates may change, so check them before your trip. Antique snowmobiles are the focus of these events.

Routes and a Photo Stop on Lake Michigan

The US-2/USBR-10/Iron Belle Trail connects several communities, including Naubinway. This connection is designated as part of the Lake Michigan Circle Tour. For cyclists, the two designations provide both a specific connection to the town and context for the route within the tour.

The Northernmost Point of Lake Michigan Marker is a visitor attraction at Garfield Township Marina in Naubinway. It invites travelers on US 2, cyclists and hikers on the Iron Belle Trail, and snowmobilers to stop for a photo at the scenic overlook. The marker is also a short detour from the Top of the Lake US-2 Scenic Byway and a suitable stop for paddlers and boaters.

The route connection provides a framework across several communities, while the marker offers a specific photo stop. This distinction helps visitors understand the route information and the attraction as two separate points of reference for their stay.

Wildlife Nearby

Nearby, GarLyn Zoo gives visitors the opportunity to feed deer, goats, a llama, and a bear. Visitors can also see a tiger, cougar, wolves, a bobcat, a river otter, a camel, an alligator, and a grizzly bear there. These are two distinct activities: feeding is available for the animals listed first, while the focus for the other species is on viewing them.

Feeding conditions and the animal list may change. If you plan to feed the animals, check the current conditions before your visit.
