Nature is Nearby on Michigan's Forgotten Coast

You’re never far from access to the natural world & its creatures when you call Michigan’s Forgotten Coast home.

Lake Huron provides a home to a diverse ecosystem. You’ll find all sorts of waterfowl and predatory birds fishing in the lake including bald eagles, golden eagles, falcons, hawks, geese, seagulls, swans, ducks, and a lot more.

Obviously, there’s “fish in them there waters” including walleye, salmon, yellow perch, lake trout, sturgeon, whitefish, bass, pike, and more! Fishing is a big draw for tourists to our area and is an activity beloved by many of our citizens as well.

Beyond Lake Huron, you’ll find a vast amount of nature in area forests & farmland. TONS of large whitetail deer, beavers, coyotes, raccoons, rabbits, pheasants, wild turkeys, and recently we’ve even found lynx hanging around. Needless to say, hunting is another attraction for tourists and passion of our locals.

There are hiking trails, bike trails, state game areas, and several other ways for you to get out in this natural landscape. Some of our cities & villages have those access points to nature trails right in town!
