Points of Interest
This place is unique to say the least. They are a 90 acre recreational area where you can bring your own vehicle or rent what they call a "junk" Dodge Durango and head out to the trails for off road fun. Beat it up as much as you like I was told! Also that 4x4 is not necessary but they do charge a $50 pull out charge if you get stuck but most likely another friendly guest will pull you out for free. They also offer Adventure Tours where they drive you around from March 15th to late fall temperature permitting since the jeeps have open tops.
They also have what they call a Heavy Equipment Playground where you can operate heavy machinery for an hourly rate. All ages welcome.

Bulk food/bakery/gifts. A wonderful place to go. Great tasting pies! Huge selection of cheeses, fresh meat, dairy products. Yoder's surprise in a little town like Centerville. Homemade baked goods. Made-to-order subs...hot meals. I always find something there that you will not find anywhere else in Michigan.

Two locations. Gibby's on the Lake is very close and is more upscale located on a golf course with great outdoor seating. Closes during the winter. Gibby's in Mendon is just a short drive too and offers a more pub like atmosphere with seating outdoors by the river.
