The entire Thumb lakeshore has much to offer tourists, 2nd home owners and year round residents.

Our friendly communities boasts many quaint shops and boutiques; superior fine-dining restaurants; numerous lakefront hotels and motels; three State Parks; several first-class State Harbors of Refuge with dockage and launch; large boardwalks for taking a stroll, bird watching or fishing the “big ones”; canoe, kayak and bicycle rentals; charter fishing excursions with Michigan’s finest Captains; large Farmers Market; putt-putt golf, scenic horseback riding, water slide parks, go-karts, and sandy waterfront parks for enjoying family picnics and activities.

For the sport lover, you can try your skills at several area challenging golf clubs, outdoor tennis courts, basketball courts and baseball fields. And for the history buff, visit the Huron City Museums in historic Grindstone City and the famous lighthouses along our shoreline. And don’t forget the Huron County Nature Center and Wilderness Arboretum - it is a must see.

Numerous Festivals, Parades and Community Events are on-going throughout the year for families to enjoy, including several lakefront Firework Festivities the week of July 4th. And the second and third week of August celebrate the Jimmy Buffett way at Caseville's Cheeseburger in Paradise Festival which generates over 7,000 people in attendance daily.

In the off-season, witness the spectacular Fall colors; abundant small and large game hunting; enjoy the “laid-back” feeling with nature trails, walking the shoreline, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, as well as many winter events.

The Thumb also offers many year round services such as the Community Playhouses with popular theatrical productions; very active Chambers of Commerce; Public Libraries; excellent public schools and private schools; full service Police departments and Fire departments with all high-tech equipment; and many churches, hospitals, physicians and dentists.

The area is alive year round!
