Blair Township lies about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Traverse City. Because of this proximity, much of the northern half of Blair Township is suburban, especially in the township-administered communities of Chums Corner and Grawn.
Blair Township is the location of Turtle Creek Stadium, the home stadium for the Traverse City Pit Spitters, a collegiate summer baseball team.
