Guidebook for Gaylord
Sightseeing
A short walk in the park will bring you to the open field with a small herd of elk. If you are crunched for time, have small children, or you're out on a rainy day, go one block further north to Grandview before turning east, drive down to the end of the street, and you'll see the world's only Elk Lodge with an elk herd in the front yard. There are benches and parking at the end of the street, and you can see the elk from your car as well.

Entertainment & Activities
Charming wildlife museum with a very large group of tableaus displaying native animals in their habitats, and Northern Michigan History. And one of the nicest gift shops around, particularly for bird and wildlife books and mementos, unique t-shirts, and moccasins. Good quality gifts, with very reasonable prices and selection.
