A small three-lane rope-tow run at a Gaylord resort with a family tradition since 1939, facility-provided tubes, and scheduled sessions.
Loading current conditions…
Tubes provided by facility
Otsego Resort’s tubing run in Gaylord has three lanes and a rope tow, and our record describes it as a family tradition dating to 1939. The facility provides the tubes, so you do not carry your own. The resort also offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, which makes it a fit for guests planning a mixed winter day.
Sessions are scheduled throughout the day, and reservations are recommended. Our record does not list session length, price, hours, or age and height rules, and it lists no night tubing, so check the resort’s tubing page for those before you book. Because the hill is small, popular time slots may fill, and reserving is the safer choice.
With just three lanes and a rope tow, this is a modest hill compared with the larger Gaylord-area parks. That is a reasonable trade if your kids are new to tubing and you would rather avoid a crowded conveyor lineup.
You have a short list of alternatives right next door. Treetops Resort Extreme Tubing is only about 3 miles straight-line away, and Boyne Mountain Top Notch Tube Park is about 15 miles, with 8 lanes. Our ski resort vs tubing park guide helps compare.

Yes — this park requires reservations rather than walk-up tickets. Book ahead, especially for a weekend or holiday slot.
We track 16 tubing hills in Michigan. The park has not published a price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
It runs 3 lanes against a state average of about 6, so it is broadly typical for the state.
One caveat worth repeating: this park had not published its current-season dates when we last checked, while 1 of the 16 parks we track in Michigan had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as a prior season's until the park confirms it.
