Water is the backdrop of life in Bellaire. Swimming, boating, fishing and beach-combing are summer activities that give way in the fall to driving tours along some of Michigan's most scenic back roads. In the winter, snowmobile trails, sledding spots and Shanty Creek's ski slopes provide plenty of fun. Golf swings into action in the spring as the area heats up again. The Village's 1,200 residents know how to throw a party. Each August the town has a fabulous Annual Rubber Ducky Festival in downtown with food, arts, crafts, a parade and a Rubber Ducky Race.
