Glen Arbor's original destination for simple, unforgettable adventures. Nestled in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Crystal River Outfitters Recreational District has been offering a variety of experiences for the whole family for over 20 years. From kayak trips, SUP and bike rentals to wine tasting and shopping, the district has something for everyone. We are open year around, seven days a week so our customers are able to experience Glen Arbor for all four seasons. We have four destinations within our district: Crystal River Outfitters, The Cyclery, M22 Glen Arbor, and Coastal. We also have seasonal rentals available at three of our stores. For more information on the seasonal rentals and about our four stores, please visit our website. August 2021 Update- CRO is closed for Kayaking/Canoeing due to a fire at our store. We are happy to still provide Bike Rental/Repairs, Shopping & Wine Tasting. We will re-open May 2022 for Crystal River fun!
