Other Local Recreation Options
The Huron-Manistee National Forests comprise almost 1,000,000 acres (4,000 km2) of public lands extending across the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. The Huron-Manistee National Forests provide recreation opportunities for visitors, habitat for fish and wildlife, and resources for local industry. In 1909, the Huron National Forest was established and the Manistee National Forest was formed in 1938. In 1945, these two National Forests were administratively combined. Working hand in hand with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and other partners, the Forest Service has changed the "lands that nobody wanted" to healthy forests again. This forest offers the general public the opportunity to camp, hike, Snowmobile, Boat/Canoe, Site See, Fish, Hunt, Cross-Country Ski, Bike or Hike.
