Happy Spring Break!

We hope that everyone is getting a chance to spend time with their friends and family during this little break. The numbers of visitors we are seeing here at the Birch Bay Visitor Information Center sure are promising. In March of 2019 we welcomed 243 visitors, and this year (2022) we welcomed 169 which represents 472 nights spent here in Birch Bay!

If you haven't been to Birch Bay in awhile, stop in and say hello!
