Deep guides for the searches travelers actually make.
Beaches
Oscoda Beach Park & Pier
Oscoda Beach Park is the town’s front porch on Lake Huron: soft sand, a fishing pier, playground, and room to watch the sunrise without a resort wristband. It is the easiest Lake Huron day trip on Michigan’s Sunrise Side.
River
Au Sable River in Oscoda
The Au Sable River meets Lake Huron at Oscoda, turning a quiet Michigan town into a launch point for paddling, fishing, scenic drives, and one of the country’s most famous canoe races.
History
Lumberman’s Monument
Lumberman’s Monument honors Michigan’s logging era from a high bluff above the Au Sable River. Come for the bronze figures and stay for the overlook, visitor center, and trail down toward the water.
Featured Places to Stay
Beachfront cottages, cozy lodges, and everything in between
