Pine Knob

Pine Knob is a mountain in Southeast Michigan that rises to approximately 1,201 feet in Independence Township with forested slopes throughout. The site combines natural terrain with facilities for skiing and other outdoor recreation.

The property was purchased in 1927 by an automotive executive who built a large estate house and used the land for private purposes. The site later developed into a recreation area with skiing and entertainment facilities.

The Pine Knob Music Theatre operates as an outdoor amphitheater that draws concert audiences and performances to the hillside. This venue shapes the entertainment options for the wider region.

The property features multiple runs and facilities for winter sports as well as space for activities across the slopes. Visitors should expect varying conditions depending on the season and dress appropriately for the weather.

The property hosts a 27-hole golf course designed by a team of golf architects that provides another recreational option. This combination of winter sports and golf makes the location appealing across multiple seasons.
