Odawa Casino Resort
Petoskey, Michigan
Petoskey is on the shore of Little Traverse Bay in Emmet County in northern lower Michigan, known for its gaslight historic district, Petoskey stones (fossilized coral unique to the Lake Michigan region), and proximity to the Boyne Mountain and Boyne Highlands ski resorts. The area is a strong year-round tourist destination — summers draw boaters and beach visitors; winters serve the northern Michigan ski market. Odawa Casino Resort captures both the local Emmet County population and the substantial seasonal tourist traffic that flows through the Petoskey/Harbor Springs corridor.
